Event Description

Sixto “Sugar Man” Rodríguez feat. Michael Chapman, & DJ Britt Govea will perform at Bimbo’s 365.

After being re-discovered by an audience that he himself didn’t know he had, 70s Mexican-American rocker Rodríguez is now the subject of Malik Bendjelloul’s Remezcla-featured documentary “Searching for Sugar Man”.

Rodriguez’ music and lyrics had also become a guiding light and inspiration to a generation of South African youth caught up in the Apartheid-era army conscription and subsequent Southern African Border wars. The music and message of ‘Cold Fact’ had become as important to them as that of Jimi Hendrix to the US troops in Vietnam.
