Founded as a “sound system” of tutors and students in an east London
community workshop, the Asian Dub Foundation (ADF) has grown into a
worldwide phenomenon, touring around the world for more than 10 years
with their hybrid blend of rock, reggae, punk, hip-hop, traditional
Indian classical music, and other world music sounds. Along with a unique
sound, ADF helped to combat negative stereotypes of Asian youth in Britain
by creating a new image of them as creative, musically skilled, and
“hip”. FOUNDATION AND EMPIRE introduces the ADF and its members, their
arsenal of instruments, their community educational foundation and political
outlook to an audience hungry for music that inspires dance, thought
and action.
