The Rudimentals started in 2001, with roots in ska and reggae music blended with African elements - a brass-driven live show, founding front man Teboho “T-Boss” Maidza bringing an undeniably southern African flavor to the mix. Fast-forward thirteen years and the vocal section have expanded to include two international male fashion models and a Zimbabwean-born “toasting” MC. There’s still a keyboard player, but now there’s also an electronic and beats synth-player, a drummer who was first blooded in the heavy metal scene, a rotating roster of up-’n-coming backing vocalist – and it’s all still powered by a rude-boy brass and rhythm section.
