With simple, honest songs of real life, “Rockdrigo” González carved his own path to become one of Mexican rock's most influential voices. Armed only with an acoustic guitar and a desire for the truth, Rockdrigo started performing on the streets of Mexico City in the late '70s. The trials he endured inspired folk-rock song cycles exploring the vagaries of street life, and his sincere, moving style birthed the iconic Movimiento Rupestre, which prized authenticity in songcraft above all. Like Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley, he's bequeathed a powerful musical legacy that lives on.
