The Irish fusion group Skelpin incorporates Spanish flamenco, Middle Eastern, and American soul elements and instruments into its music. Delhi 2 Dublin, a band based in Canada, is known for fusing Irish and Indian music. Salsa Celtica is an 11 member "world fusion" project based in Edinburgh, Scotland that mixes salsa with Scottish bagpiping and world influences.
