IN 1970, singer-songwriter Sixto Rodriguez released his debut album to little fanfare in the U.S., and the story could have ended there. But the LP found its way to South Africa愀 underground, where its Dylanesque anti-establishment punch sparked rebellious young Afrikaners at the dawn of the anti-Apartheid movement. Widely bootlegged and traded, the prophetic music fueled the conscience of a disenfranchised youth, despite the fact that Rodriquez愀 life and whereabouts were a mystery. It took nearly three decaded before he was rediscovered, right at home in Detroit.
This soundtrack features the most definitive songs from Rodriquez愀 two albums, and reveals and artists whose lyrics are timeless, and whose message of hope confirms the resonating power of music.
