Asian Dub Foundation - 30th Anniversary Tour
Thursday, 20/02/2025 / 08:00 PM / Jazzhaus Freiburg
The legendary English group Asian Dub Foundation is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year!
The music of the Asian Dub Foundation is a genre in its own right. Their unique fusion of jungle rhythms, dub basslines, wild guitars inspired by their South Asian roots and militant rap.
The story began in the early 90s when ADF formed out of a music workshop in East London at the community music institution that has always remained their spiritual home. These beginnings shaped not only their sound but also their broader educational aims, evident through the formation of their own educational organization, ADF Education, and their campaigns to support victims of miscarriages of justice.
By the mid-90s, they were building a solid stage reputation and eventually gained worldwide recognition, sharing the stage with Rage Against The Machine, the Beastie Boys and Primal Scream. On their recordings they have collaborated with Radiohead, Sinead O'Connor, Iggy Pop, Adrian Sherwood and Chuck D. In addition, ADF is one of the pioneering groups to have seriously explored cine-concerts, starting with their interpretation of the soundtrack of the French classic "La Haine" in 2001.
Asian Dub Foundation represents 30 years of career and activism, marked by unforgettable concerts around the world, 9 studio albums, each legendary in its own right, as well as iconic collaborations.
In 2024, Asian Dub Foundation will continue to make history. A special tour in France and Europe will also pay tribute to the British group's consistency and longevity live.
