San Francisco Bay Guardian , Eight Days a Week >>
Straight out of Rio Long before he was introduced to international audiences as City of God's Knockout Ned, Seu Jorge was well versed in the world depicted in the film. Growing up homeless on the streets of Rio's favelas (slums), Jorge taught himself guitar and eventually became involved with theater. He formed the samba pop group Farofa Carioca, which dominated Brazilian airwaves in the late-'90s, and his most recent cinematic turn, in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, showcased a talent for reinterpreting David Bowie songs in Portuguese. Yet Jorge's cred as a malandro (Brazilian bad boy) permeates his music and theater projects with an authenticity straight out of Rio's mean streets. In town to promote his latest album, Cru (Wrasse Records), Brazil's favorite renaissance man will bring his roughly sweet style to Bimbo's. 8 p.m., Bimbo's 365 Club, 1025 Columbus, SF. $20. (415) 474-0365. 09/21/05 >> go there
