Los Angeles Times, Fall Arts Preview: A name with the face >>
By Craig Fisher
North Americans might be able to place Seu Jorge's face from his recent on-screen appearances, as the steely Knockout Ned in "City of God" and the singing sailor Pele dos Santos in "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," interpreting David Bowie tunes in Portuguese. But Jorge, who grew up in the favelas of Rio, has garnered a sizable Brazilian following after heading a popular funk-pop-samba band, Farofa Carioca. He hopes to break out of cameo status in the States with his new, largely acoustic album, "Cru," and an international tour. In this intimate setting, Jorge's drowsy, inclement voice tries on various styles and attitudes samba, bossa nova, Serge Gainsbourg, even Elvis as it moves from forlorn to winsome, like a cloud passing over the sun. A man of many muses and moods.
