Jorge will be joined by the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, conducted by Thomas Wilkins.
He is one of Brazil’s most talented contemporary singers and rose to international fame in the Wes Anderson film “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.”
In his role as singing sailor Pelé dos Santos, Jorge performed many Bowie songs in the film. In a twist, he performed the songs in Portuguese while playing an acoustic guitar.
In commemoration of Bowie’s death, Seu Jorge will perform a special tribute with orchestral arrangements by David Campbell. The first half of the concert will feature Jorge and his six-piece band performing classic samba.
Jorge was part of the Brazilian band Farofa Carioca, writing most of the songs for its 1998 debut album “Moro no Brasil.” His first solo album was “Samba Esporte Fino” (2001), a pop album influenced by iconic Brazilian artists Jorge Ben Jor, Gilberto Gil and Milton Nascimento. It was released outside Brazil under the name “Carolina” in 2003. Jorge has six additional studio albums including collaborations with Beck, Talib Kweli and the fashion designer Rachel Roy.
The performance is part of KCRW’s World Festival. Tickets start at $14. The Hollywood Bowl is located at 2301 N. Highland Ave. For information, visit hollywoodbowl.com.
