{"id":2351,"count":1,"description":"American singer\/songwriter and guitarist, born July 10, 1942, Detroit, Michigan, USA - died August 8, 2023.\r\n\r\nRodriguez released the solo album \"Cold Fact\" on the Sussex label in 1970. The blues-funk style of his overtly sociopolitical lyrics gained him little popularity in the US, where he once performed onstage with Hispanic activists the Brown Berets. However, his music found a resonance with a fan-base in South Africa, where he became somewhat of a cult legend. He also toured Australia with Midnight Oil during the 1980s.\r\n\r\nRodriguez was also known as \"Sixto Rodriguez\" and was once a Motown session musician. Works include: \"Cold Fact\", \"Coming From Reality\", \"After The Fact\" & \"Sugarman: The Best Of Rodriguez\".\r\n\r\nSixto's brother Jesse (aka Jesus Rodriguez (6)) co-wrote songs for Rodr\u00edguez' catalogue and repertoire.","link":"https:\/\/egiarecords.com\/eu\/artista\/sixto-rodriguez\/","name":"Sixto Rodriguez","slug":"sixto-rodriguez","taxonomy":"artista","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/egiarecords.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artista\/2351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/egiarecords.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artista"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/egiarecords.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/artista"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/egiarecords.com\/eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?artista=2351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
