It is with great pleasure that we at Sugarman.org join all Sixto Diaz Rodriguez’s Family and many, many fans around the world in wishing him a Happy and Healthy and Peaceful 81st Birthday.
On this special day we are also very happy to share and report the news that Rodriguez is recovering well from his recent health problems and should be well enough to attend the special ‘81st Rodriguez Birthday Celebration Show’ that will be taking place on Thursday 13th July at 6.30pm at the Cadieux Café in Detroit.
This musical celebration and tribute will be hosted by Doug Podell and will feature a host of Detroit musical acts including The Orbitsuns, and Muruga Cosmic Boogie featuring the legendary Dennis Coffey who, along with Mike Theodore, was the producer of Rodriguez’s first album, ‘Cold Fact’.
It has now been 25 years since we first met Rodriguez and his family when they arrived in Cape Town in March 1998 for the first of his six concerts around South Africa. It was then that we had all our questions answered about this incredible artist, including his birth date and what he had been doing since mostly disappearing following the release of his two albums. (you can read more on the original ‘Great Rodriguez Hunt’ website which has been archived for 25 years!).
Rodriguez’s subsequent tour of South Africa, as portrayed in Malik Bendjelloul’s Oscar-winning documentary ‘Searching For Sugar Man’, has resulted in Rodriguez’s music, fame, and incredible story being spread around the globe, with his massive fan base now continuing to spread from China to California and everywhere in between.
We are sure that we echo the prayers, thoughts and wishes of all Rodriguez’s fans that he be blessed to celebrate many more Happy Birthdays with his loving Family and fans.
Please feel free to post your birthday wishes in the comments section below as we are sure that Rodriguez will be made aware of all of them.
Happy Birthday Rodriguez! We all love you very much!!
Sugar and Brian
