Song of the Day - Tommy Used to Work on the Docks

Today's song of the day comes from alternative Canadian band Delhi 2 Dublin. Delhi 2 Dublin are a master at music fusions, which on paper shouldn't work, but they usually do. Their name refers to the fact that their music is primarily a blend of Bhangra music and Celtic music, which sounds ridiculous, but once you listen you'll kinda see what they're trying to do.

This is Tommy:

So What's So Good?

Tommy is a 4 minute tour of the music world. It's more of a blend of hip-hop and Bhangra with few Celtic influences in this particular song, but it's surprisingly enjoyable. It's something that you've never heard before and even though it doesn't sound completely different, there's something unusual about it.

Delhi 2 Dublin use a wide array of instruments not really known for their use in pop music - can you name any popular songs with a fiddle in it? - including some Indian instruments used to add the Bhangra influences. Sanjay Seran's vocals aren't anything special to be perfectly honest, but they're not the star here. The smoothness and ingenuity of the music fusions are. 

I can't say "If you like x band, you'll love them!" or anything similar to that, but Delhi 2 Dublin are worth just one listen. They're something completely different to anything else you might have heard.
