Just in time for summer, Brazilian samba soul singer, actor and folk hero Seu Jorge has finished recording a new studio album, Seu Jorge and Almaz for Stones Throw's Now-Again subsidiary. Evidently, Seu Jorge initially came together with Nação Zumbi guitarist Lucio Maia, bassist Antonio Pinto and drummer Pupillo two years ago while working on a song for the Walter Salles film Linha de Passé about soccer and the favelas. Salles is the renowned Brazilian director behind The Motorcycle Diaries who initially recommended Seu Jorge to Fernando Meirelles for a career-making part in City of God so coming up with a tune was the least he could do, right?
Although Das Model, their version of Kraftwerk's memorable Man Machine joint seems like it could be a crossover smash, the first track to emerge from the sessions is an exquisitely chilled version of the Roy Ayers classic Everbody Loves The Sunshine. And yes, it's dope.
Listen for yourself...
