WHO would have known that an unknown album from an unknown artist in 1970 (Rodriguez) would become a huge phenomenon in South Africa?
As big as say, Elvis Presley. Rodriguez himself was never aware of his huge success, as well as most other Americans. His music was lost in the US but, by a strange coincidence became a cult hit in South Africa and became a symbol of rebellion for the underground white, anti-apartheid sub-culture.
Join Barry Thomson and The Reals (Dawn Selby, Mali Sewell and Jason Andrew) as they pay tribute to the talented Rodriguez in Cold Fact – Rodriguez at Westville Old Boys Hall, Westville Country Club, 1 Link Road in Westville on Sunday, 11 January at 2:30pm and again at 7pm.
