About this product
Product Information
Two South African music lovers embark on a mission to uncover the fate of an obscure, 1970s-era U.S. rocker whose debut album became a surprise hit in their home country, and uncover a shocking secret along the way. Sixto Diaz Rodriguez had the kind of musical career that every aspiring rock star fears -- lauded by critics but ignored by the public, he released two albums before unceremoniously disappearing from the spotlight. But while sales of Rodriguez's debut CD Cold Fact fell flat in the U.S., overseas in Australia and South Africa, the fans couldn't get enough. In apartheid-torn South Africa in particular, Cold Fact became something of an anti-establishment classic, eventually going platinum. Later, rumors began to swirl that Rodriguez had suffered a horrible death. When Rodriguez's second album Coming From Reality makes it's belated debut in South Africa, a pair of devoted fans take it upon themselves to uncover the facts surrounding the mysterious musician, and get the surprise of a lifetime while attempting to track the profits from his record sales.Product Identifiers

Don't give up on your dreams !
A reclusive artist was discovered in the 70's, signed a record deal made 2 great albums but they didn't do well ... who knows why the music was brilliant. Someone takes a copy to South Africa, at the time in the grip of apartheid, pariah of the western world. The record takes off becomes so popular top seller , but no one knows this artist ,who is the guy, many believe he has died. 2 South African men are determined to find the truth. I don't want to spoil the story , it's heart warming, joyous, a fairy tale and with a brilliant sound track, I wanted to go out and buy the album ! It's a true story .. it's one of those stories that will stay in your mind .Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
