My Take

My affection for Seu Jorge began with his hushed Portuguese reworkings of David Bowie in The Life Aquatic, songs that became something entirely his own. Rising from Belford Roxo and shaped by samba schools, he carries the unforced soul of a Stevie Wonder admirer. Critics call him a renewer of Brazilian pop samba, and I agree, though what moves me most is his plainness, a voice that never decorates and therefore cuts deep. As an actor he brings the same quiet gravity. I keep returning to him for both that voice and that presence.

He is considered by many to be a renewer of Brazilian pop samba. Seu Jorge cites samba schools and American soul singer Stevie Wonder as major musical influences.
