RHOMBUS | Nelson Arts Festival

Saturday 26th October 2024

Iconic Te Whanganui-a-Tara collective Rhombus are true masters of their unique, distinctively South Pacific sound - spiced with funk, soul, reggae and electronic dub wobbly bass. From 2002 album Bass Player to 2024’s Remixes and Archives Volume 2, the return of Rhombus with Lisa Tomlins & TK Paradza is not to be missed.

Finally reunited, Rhombus return to the stage with new material and some new faces, but still with the distinctive and unique sound they have truly mastered: tried-and-true formula audiences have come to love: a south pacific musical style with combinations of funk, soul, reggae and electronic dub wobbly bass, frenetic drum lines, and echoed synth.

Established in 2001, Rhombus first made a splash on the scene in 2002 with their award-winning debut album BASS PLAYER featuring the iconic singles Clav Dub and Onward (Step it Up).
They followed up with their critically acclaimed sophomore album Future Reference in 2005. 2006 saw the release of Onwards: Remixes and Archives Vol. 1 and then their final studio album Rhombus in 2008.
