Sixto Diaz Rodriguez (also known as Rodriguez or as Jesus Rodriguez; born July 10, 1942) is an American folk musician, born in Detroit, Michigan. He was named ‘Sixto’ (pronounced seex-tuh) because he was the sixth child in his family. Rodriguez’s parents were middle-class immigrants from Mexico, who left in the 1920s. In most of his songs he takes a political stance on the cruelties facing the inner city poor.

Suzanne Marques reports from the LA Film Fest where Rodriguez is getting ready for the premiere of the documentary ‘Searching for Sugarman.’
