Back by popular demand, The Reals present their
show Cold Fact - A Tribute to Rodriguez
at three Rhumbelow venues: Northlands Bowling Club in Durban North; The Grand
Exotic at Shelley Beach and Rhumbelow Tina’s in Kloof.
Who would know that an unknown album from an unknown
artist in 1970 (Rodriguez) would become a huge phenomenon in South Africa?
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 becomes a cult hit in South Africa and becomes a symbol
of rebellion for the underground white, anti-apartheid sub-culture.
The show features all his well-remembered songs
such as I Wonder, Establishment Blues
and Sugar Man, amongst others.
This musical tribute to Rodriguez’s music is performed
by Barry Thomson and The Reals with Musical Director Dawn Selby on keyboards
and percussion, Mali Sewell on drums and vocals, and Jason Andrew on bass
guitar and vocals.
Performances take place in association with The
Rhumbelow Theatre at Northlands Bowling Club, 50 Margaret Maytom Avenue, Durban
North on March 6 and 7 at 20h00. (Venue opens 90 minutes before show for
picnics & drinks)
