(Trevor Donjeany, Mali Sewell, Dawn Selby & Barry Thomson)
Who would know 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 becomes a cult hit in South Africa and becomes a symbol of rebellion for the underground white, anti-apartheid sub-culture.
Barry Thomson and The Reals which include Dawn Selby, Mali Sewell and Trevor Donjeany have created Cold Fact - Rodriguez which features all Rodriguez’s well-remembered songs such as I Wonder, Establishment Blues and Sugar Man, amongst others.
Shows take place at Rhumbelow Durban from March 5 to 7 with performances on Friday and Saturday at 19h00 and on Sunday at 14h00. (Venue opens 60 minutes before show for snacks/drinks)
