Legendary hardly begins to describe Sixto Diaz Rodriguez, better known to his legion of fans as simply Rodriguez. By popular demand the unassuming musical legend is putting on a third show at the GrandWest Grand Arena and will now perform on 10, 20 and 21 February.
Now in his 70s, the popular singer and songwriter came to epitomize all that was cool about the 70s, becoming an icon and the rallying point of a generation of young South Africans, all despite being totally unknown in his home country of America or anywhere else in the world.
No reports, news or interviews were ever published and no music videos ever released but the mystery simply added to the allure for locals. Then, as the box-office hit documentary film Search for Sugar Man chronicles, they finally got to meet Rodriguez in the late 1990s.
Besides Sugar Man, his signature song, fans can also expect to relive other Rodriguez’s hits such as Inner City Blues, I’ll Slip Away and To Whom It May Concern to name but a few. His voice remains exceptional and his lyrics inspiring. This is a concert that both young and old will enjoy.
The show starts at 20h00 and tickets are available for the 10th February 2013 show between R310 and R520. Shows on the 20th and 21st are sold out.
