Rodriguez, vollständiger Name Sixto Díaz Rodríguez (* 10. Juli 1942 in Detroit), ist ein US-amerikanischer Singer-Songwriter. Nach zwei Studioalben, die in seiner Heimat wenig Anklang fanden, zog er sich 1971 als bescheiden lebender Bauarbeiter zunächst ins Privatleben zurück. Dass sich seine Musik unterdessen in Australien sowie in dem durch das Apartheid-Regime lange Zeit isolierten Südafrika großer Beliebtheit erfreute, hat er erst spät erfahren. Die Umstände und Hintergründe seines Erfolgs in Südafrika ab 1998 sind auch Gegenstand des Oscar-prämierten Dokumentarfilms Searching for Sugar Man (2012), der Rodriguez schließlich international bekannt machte.

Sixto Rodriguez - I Wonder [2:41]
Veröffentlicht am 17.10.2013
"Unbeknownst to him, Detroit singer-songwriter Sixto Rodriguez had a loyal following in South Africa in the 1970s, and some of his songs became anthems of the anti-Apartheid movement. His belated claim to fame was captured in the 2012 documentary Searching for Sugar Man, which featured several of the artist's original songs, including the swinging "I Wonder."
Now Rodriguez has released a lyric video for that track, which you can catch here exclusively. In the clip, lyrics flash across neon signs and appear as storefront graffiti as a Rodriguez walks slowly through an abandoned Detroit with a guitar on his back. The song originally appeared on Rodriguez's first album, 1970's Cold Fact; the video, while animated with modern technology, conveys a sense of times past through its images of pawn shops and record stores."

ydia Jenkin talks to Sixto Rodriguez, the songwriter and subject of the Oscar-winning documentary Searching for Sugar Man, who is enjoying a renaissance more than 40 years after releasing his two and only albums. The Mexican-American artist plays the Wellington Opera House on March 16 and Auckland's Logan Campbell Centre on March 17. Better known as Rodriguez, the Detroit native recorded his tough folk rock debut Cold Fact in 1970 - which included his best-known song, Sugar Man - and follow-up Coming From Reality in 1971, but they never took off in his homeland. Following this lack of interest in his music he went back to renovation and restoration work to support his family, and even ran for the mayor of Detroit at one stage, while still continuing to perform on the side. However, Rodriguez' songs took hold in New Zealand, Australia, and especially in South Africa where they struck a chord at a time when many people were agitating against the apartheid regime.
