Seu Jorge: Bringing a new level of beauty to Bowie

Had Seu Jorge not recorded my songs acoustically in Portuguese," Bowie noted in the album's liner notes, "I would never have heard this new level of beauty which he has imbued them with.

Life Aquatic, directed by Wes Anderson, was one of my favorite films of all time, not in small part to the relaxed and brilliant work of Brazilian singer and actor Seu Jorge. In addition to being the ship's safety officer, he also sings multiple acoustic guitar renderings of David Bowie's songs like Life on Mars with Portugese translation.

Wes Anderson is surely the Woody Allen of our generation.

Thanks so much for this posting. Have a brother who is still trying to master Portuguese so Jorge's music will make a perfect Christmas gift.
