An icon of Brazilian music, Seu Jorge blends samba, popular music and pop with an unparalleled elegance. Born in 1970 in an industrial town on the outskirts of Rio, he experienced a youth marked by poverty before revealing himself through his voice and charisma, first with the group Farofa Carioca, then solo. His career has been marked by successes with albums such as Música para Churrasco and América Brasil. But it was in films that the general public truly discovered him, through his David Bowie covers in Wes Anderson’s The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and his role in the poignant City of God. A true ambassador of Brazilian culture, Seu Jorge continues to captivate stages around the world and will perform this summer, for the third time, at the Montreux Jazz Festival.
