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.

 

Durban’s Top Talent at the Rhumbelow Theatre.

 

Reviews:

Keith Millar: ‘….The band puts in its usual impeccable performance. They display real sincerity and warmth on stage.’

Billy Suter: ‘…….this tribute to the music and memory of Rodriguez had the Rhumbelow’s opening night audience in high spirits, their hearty applause and keenness to sing along with the band visibly moving Thomson, who continually expressed his gratitude. The show drew a standing ovation on opening night.’

Gisele Turner: ‘…….With the usual high quality of musicianship expected from musicians of this calibre, the songs are rendered with authenticity and respect for the originals. If you’re a fan (and who isn’t?) of the man and his music, then the cosy Rhumbelow venue is a great place to enjoy.’
