But also had no idea no one had heard of him. Interesting how locked off culturally a country can be due to politics. I got into him through I Am Kloot as they loved his album which is great. surprised he lasted this long went watching him about 10 years or so ago after seeing the documentary gig was in hammersmith so full of South Africans was a strange one, he could barely walk, stand up, was incoherent, tried to interact with audience between songs, was all a bit awkward so then the audience was shouting encouragement like: non South Africans: "we love you rodridguez" followed by south afircans: "we love you more rodridguez, we loved you first" kept getting their flags out Quote
