Le rock and its legends have a constant, the atypical trajectory of their heroes. Sixto Rodriguez, known as Rodriguez, is no exception to the rule and takes us on a journey through one of the greatest injustices of American popular music, fortunately 'corrected' 7 years ago with the theatrical release of the brilliant 'Searching For Sugarman'. After experiencing two commercial failures in the United States, his home country, the artist goes from odd job to odd job. An almost mundane story of the harsh reality of a music industry that does not 'always find its way back'. Meanwhile, in South Africa, these 2 albums are being snatched up discreetly in the very discreet networks of a white middle class in a strong desire for racial equality and ethnic peace. The tenacity of Swedish director Malik Bendjeloul will allow the greatest number to discover this extraordinary artist through this documentary (Searching For Sugarman). Find these two gems on 180-gram vinyl and dive into a musical universe made of melancholy and poetry.
