Rock and its legends share a constant: the unusual trajectory of their heroes. Sixto Rodriguez, known as Rodriguez, is no exception to the rule and takes us on a journey into one of the greatest injustices in American popular music, thankfully 'corrected' 20 years ago with the cinematic release of the brilliant 'Searching For Sugarman'.
After two commercial failures in the United States, his native country, the artist went from odd job to odd job. An almost commonplace story of the harsh law of a music industry that doesn't always 'find its way back'. Meanwhile, in South Africa, these two albums were secretly snatched up through the very discreet networks of a white middle class deeply desiring racial equality and ethnic peace. The pugnacity of Swedish director Malik Bendjeloul allowed the wider public to discover this extraordinary artist through his documentary (Searching For Sugarman). Find these two gems on 180-gram vinyl and immerse yourself in a musical universe of melancholy and poetry.
