Basque Dub Foundation

Basque Dub Foundation (BDF) started in the early 1990s as a studio project by Inyaky Yarritu (aka Iñaki or Inyaki Yarritu), a London based reggae musician originally from the Basque Country (northern Spain). Inyaky moved into music production in the late 1980s, having been involved in reggae since the late 1970s as a radio DJ, journalist and promoter. In their early days BDF toured as a sound system, supporting Mad Professor in the first ever dub sessions to take place in Spain.

After the release of Sustraidun Roots Dub in 1997, BDF evolved into a live band specialising in roots reggae and dub, and supported international tours by major artists such as The Wailers, Culture, Burning Spear and Lee Perry.
