Rhumbelow Theatre will present Sugar
Man, A Tribute to Rodriguez, featuring Barry Thomson & The Reals - Dawn
Selby, Andy Turrell, Mali Sewell & 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.
Celebrate the music and life with all his well-remembered songs such as I Wonder, Establishment Blues and Sugar Man, amongst others.
