Seu Jorge is hosting a tribute night to David Bowie in Dublin

Seu Jorge, one of Brazil’s most talented contemporary singers, rose to international fame in the Wes Anderson film A Life Aquatic. In his acclaimed role as Pelé dos Santos, a singing sailor, Seu Jorge performed several of David Bowie’s songs in the film, all in Portuguese, accompanying himself simply with an acoustic guitar. Seu Jorge’s adaptations in Portuguese of David Bowie’s music underscore the breadth and depth of his compositions and have gone on to have a significant cultural impact.

Bowie himself even commented: “Had Seu Jorge not recorded my songs in Portuguese, I would never have heard this new level of beauty which he has imbued them with.”

In commemoration of David Bowie’s recent passing, Seu Jorge performs a special tribute to him by recreating the music from A Life Aquatic on stage.
