Seu Jorge @ Central Park SummerStage

Brazilian musician & actor Seu Jorge will be playing at Terminal 5 on Friday, July 30th. Tickets go on AmEx presale Wednesday (4/14) at 11am. General sale starts Friday at noon (which is when the Dirty Projectors show just announced at the same venue goes on sale too). The NYC show is the only announced Seu Jorge date at the moment.

Jorge’s roles in films like City of God and The Life Aquatic have helped his popularity in the US. He also has a part in the Brazil-produced Tropa de Elite 2, “the follow up to the acclaimed 2007 film that followed Rio’s Special Police Operations Battalion, or BOPE, in their fight for control of the favelas against militias and drug gangs, and indeed of the force itself,” due in Brazil this August. You can see an interview (in Portuguese) with Seu Jorge about the film and music clips below…
