I'll Sing for You - similar story?
There's a film called I'll Sing for You and its Netflix description sounds familiar:
Everyone in Mali thought musician Boubacar "KarKar" Traore was dead...until a music producer found one of his old recordings and tracked him down.
The IMDB description is longer but still shows a common theme. And it's not unheard of for musicians to fall out of the public eye only to be "rediscovered" decades later. But maybe this is the 11-year forefather of Searching for Sugar Man.
Has anyone seen it? One of these days when I have time to sit down and read subtitles I'll watch.
Look at him -- sittin' on that stool like he's doin' it a favor.share
