Rodriguez, Phantom Limb

The story of Sixto Diaz Rodriguez is undoubtedly the stuff of music legend. Dubbed "the greatest '70s rock icon who never was", Rodriguez's life has been shrouded in mystery and myth, his formidable talent hidden from Western audiences for decades.

Now the subject of the award-winning documentary Searching for Sugar Man, this extraordinary artist will be touring the UK, with his powerful vocals, spellbinding songwriting and politically charged lyrics about inner-city poverty in downtown Detroit, which had an untold impact on a repressed South Africa held in the grip of apartheid.
