On June 13th, 2005, Jorge played S.O.B.’s in NYC. Popmatters was there: “Seu Jorge only confirmed his warm accessibility to New York City when he strolled onstage at S.O.B.’s (Sound of Brasil). Warmed up solely by a Favela Chic-style DJ (current Brasilo-hip hop, like Marcelo D2, to CTI fusion jams), Jorge greeted the capacity audience by singing enthusiastically to the DJ’s final samba selection, immediately prompting a support chorus from the Brazilian expats in the house.”
Jorge is back in NYC on September 11th & 12th for two shows at Bowery Ballroom. Tickets are on sale. All tour dates at Aeki Tuesday.
