In 2012, because of the Oscar's best documentary "Finding Sugar Man", people began to re-know this legendary figure in the history of South African music: Rodriguez.
He used to be a young man with a musical dream. He recorded a record of his own, but the response was mediocre. The cruelty of reality poured cold water on him. Rodriguez, who was not arguing or angry, believed that no one appreciated his music and did not It doesn't mean that his music is not good, but in the face of the pressure of reality, he still became a worker resentfully and worked hard to support his family.
It was this album, which was hardly known in the United States, that was stolen and recorded by chance and brought to South Africa, where it began to spread wildly and became a must-have album for everyone. People can't even see the face of the singer named Rodriguez from the album cover, but it doesn't hinder their crazy love for him at all. The source of this disc, without copyright, has even set an unprecedented sales record in South Africa. Even the album itself has become a collective imprint of a certain era in South Africa. People are curious about everything about him, but in that communication is far less developed than it is now. It was difficult to find any information about him in the age of image in people's minds.
With the development of modern communication, some dedicated fans began to gradually discover that the legendary man may still be alive, so a modern fairy tale began.
Even though he is doing the hard work that no one can avoid, his dream still has a place in his heart and is not disturbed. Even if no one appreciates it, he feels that he does his best. When the grand cheers pour out after being late for more than 20 years, he can still keep a calm face and say to the fans: thanks for keeping me alive. A true idealist.
