Seu Jorge & Almaz + Longjon la Flecha

17 Oct 2010 / Roundhouse Main Space

Get ready for the brand new sound of Brazil when the coolest man on the planet returns to the Roundhouse with his brand new project, Almaz.

Seu Jorge and Almaz - drummer Pupillo, guitarist Lucio Maia from the legendary Nacao Zumbi, and bassist and composer Antonio Pinto - came together to record a song for a Walter Salles film. They enjoyed the experience so much that they recorded an entire album, free of convention, of music that inspired them: they covered songs famous within the Brazilian diaspora and added a psychedelic samba to some classic American and European soul tunes.

For an audience that first met Jorge through his samba covers of David Bowie's golden years in the Life Aquatic, there are new treats in store with Almaz, as Jorge's chocolate baritone wraps around Roy Ayer's 'Sunshine', Kraftwerk's 'Das Model' and Michael Jackson's 'Rock With You'.

Seu Jorge is a singer first and foremost, but many may know him as an actor for his screen-stealing performances in the likes of Wes Anderson's 'The Life Aquatic' and Fernando Meirelles' 'City Of God'.
