About me:
Malaysia Vacation guide is your one stop source of trusted updated information to Visit Malaysia.
Seu Jorge (Mister Jorge), a 32-year-old Brazilian, is an elegant, stylish man, the kind to stand out in the middle of a crowd. A tall, dark figure, he has the ability to turn a tee-shirt into a dinner jacket or a dinner jacket into a tee-shirt: he is at home in any surroundings, since he can change the decor of a room just by entering it.
Of course, before he became Knockout Ned in the now cult movie "City of God", Jorge had extensive personal experience of the world depicted in the film. His childhood in the favelas of Rio left him with a formidable tenacity and a political commitment that has lasted to this day. He lived on the street and taught himself to play guitar, doing odd jobs to scrape a living. But then he was taken on by a theatre company and, through acting, exorcised the ghosts of his past once and for all.
Back to music: In the mid-90s, he formed a group called Farofa Carioca, whose infectious, groovy pop samba soon became popular in Rio. After a string of concerts, they recorded a single album and brash, ultra-charismatic charmer Jorge became the talk of the "Cidade Maravilhosa".
Feeling a little cramped in the group, he began a solo career with an album produced by Mario Caldato (Beastie Boys): "Samba Esporte Fino". Released to critical acclaim, it became the 1999 album of the year in Brazil. But it was the cinema and Fernando Meirelles that really made Seu Jorge a household name: his tailored role in "Cidade de Deus" (City of God) rocketed him to national stardom.
Not content with his newfound celebrity in Brazil, in winter 2004, he worked on a major Disney production directed by Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums), starring Bill Murray, Angelica Houston and Willem Dafoe. The film, "The Life Aquatic", is scheduled for release at the start of 2005.
Taking a break between Brazilian art film-making and Hollywood, Jorge came to France to recharge his batteries and made a new solo album, "Cru".
Produced by Gringo da Parada (one of the founders of Favela Chic) for his new label FLA FLU PROD and mixed by Renaud Letang, "Cru" is the real thing, not just musical window-dressing. Its lyrics range from the political commitment of "Eu sou Favela" to the words of love of "Tive Razao", while the sounds include a tense cover of Gainsbourg's "Chatterton", a softer take on Elvis's "Don't", M laying down guitar on "Tive Razao" and the irony of "Mania de Peitao".
With its bossa, stripped-down rock and song, "Cru" is an uncategorisable and completely generational record.
Brazil's greatest artists (Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque, Jorge Ben) already see Seu Jorge as a worthy successor. This surprising, intimate new album signals an extraordinary human and artistic presence.
