Legendary Rodriguez in Stará Tržnica this Sunday
The hero of an Oscar-winning documentary Searching for Sugar Man, Rodriguez, is performing in Bratislava’s Old Market Hall this Sunday (September 30). His story can be boldly called one of the most powerful in the history of music. His songs were copied by millions, they inspired anti-apartheid warriors, and legends were being told about him, while he was working at construction sites back home. One of the best songwriters from the end of the hippie era has finally earned the merited recognition thanks to the Oscar documentary “Searching for Sugar Man”. His history with Pohoda was powerful, too. It took us six years to finally drag him to our festival, and once here, he did not want to leave. He eventually became the last foreign artist to leave the festival grounds. In the course of conversation, he mentioned his two almost-sold-out shows in the Royal Albert Hall as well as the fact that he would like to return to Slovakia very soon. As a result, there will be just one concert added to those in one of the most prestigious music halls in the world—you can see him in the Old Marketplace in Bratislava on 30th September. The concert will be opened by a talented composer, pianist and singer Andrea Bučko.
