About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
By reading this summary, you will learn more about the incredible story of musician Sixto Rodriguez.
You will also learn :
- that success isn't always where it's expected;
- that talent is sometimes not enough to make a name for yourself in an environment as ruthless as that of the music industry;
- that music can have an unprecedented political impact;
- that an icon exists first and foremost through the passion of its fans.
In the late 1960s, Sussex Records produced two records with blues and folk accents. While the latter received favourable critical acclaim, the public conspicuously ignored them. The author of the songs, Sixto Rodriguez, immediately fell into oblivion, without even managing to make a name for himself in the United States. Yet in South Africa, where the apartheid regime reigns supreme, the musician is renamed Sugarman. This nickname is a reference to the eponymous song from his album "Cold Fact". He is so successful that he is elevated to the rank of a providential man. Unbeknownst to him, Sixto Rodriguez then becomes an unavoidable reference in a country that is not his own. How will he reap the laurels of his immense talent?
