Paste, Seu Jorge the Actor Sings >>
Seu Jorge can exhale ballad until it comes out of his lungs like leftover smoke. But while his latest disk , Cru, leaves plenty of space for crooning, it's also chic, edgy and like if, title says- raw. "1 grew up in Belford Roxo, Baixada Fluminense, one of the most poor and violent areas of Kin de Janeiro," says Jorge via e-mail and translator. He was homeless (or part of his childhood, until he found shelter through friends at the University of Rio dc Janeiro. "They had a small theater where I started to sleep [in return for] cleaning. I always had a musical vein and used to play between classes and presentations, [and] acting came as something natural, really."
Americans know Jorge from the films City of God and The Life Aquatic (in the latter, he's the guy singing Bowie in Portuguese). But this fall, Jorge is supporting Cru with club dates around [he States. Even if non- Portuguese speakers don't catch the lyrics about Brazilian slums or the perils of breast implants, they'll hear the coarse edge in \ singing. But will it be too downbeat for his home audience? "The Brazilian public is more happy, expects more vibration," says Jorge. "But I am sure they will like it." 11/01/05
