Upyard – Sufferah’s Time is the highly anticipated debut album from Upyard, a roots reggae band from Mungia, in the Basque Country near Bilbao. Released in 2025 by Jata Diskak, the LP delivers socially conscious messages of love, hope, and justice through the timeless framework of roots reggae.
Written, composed, and produced entirely by the band, the album was co-produced, recorded, and mixed by Roberto Sánchez at his renowned A-Lone Ark Muzik Studio—a cornerstone of European roots and dub production.
The tracklist features ten standout cuts, from the title track Sufferah’s Time to Poor’s Harvest, Revolution, Free Yemen, Future, and Criminals, blending heavyweight riddims with sharp lyrical commentary.
More than just an album, Sufferah’s Time serves as a collective statement of conscience, showing how roots reggae continues to thrive as a voice for justice and resistance, even outside Jamaica. It reflects the vitality of the Basque reggae scene while staying true to the foundations of the genre.
