________________________________________________________________
In 1970, singer-songwriter Sixto Rodriguez released his debut album to little fanfare in the U.S., and the story could have ended there. But the LP found its way to South Africa’s underground, where its Dylanesque anti-establishment punch sparked rebellious young Afrikaners at the dawn of the anti-Apartheid movement. Widely bootlegged and traded, the prophetic music fueled the conscience of a disenfranchised youth, despite the fact that Rodriguez’s life and whereabouts were a mystery. It took nearly three decades before he was rediscovered, right at home in Detroit.
The soundtrack features the most definitive songs from Rodriguez’s two albums, and reveals and artist whose lyrics are timeless, and whose messages confirms the resonating power of music.
