4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Samba soul to get you going, 13 Jun 2002
By A Customer
I read about Seu Jorge in the spring/summer edition of Straight no Chaser and his story is interesting enough. Being a former street kid in Brazil and doing the things that he has now achieved is no easy feat. However, that said I had to have a listen to the album myself and it is absolutely superb. The production which features Mario Caldato of the Beastie boy fame is excellent.

The album starts of in great fashion with Carolina and continues in various different guises that never make you lose interest. It is not just the fact that he uses both Samba and Bossa to excellent effect but more of the contemporary qualities that makes this an absolute gem. Seu Jorge is someone that we will be hearing a lot of in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tudo bem!, 6 Jan 2006
By randolfff (London) - See all my reviews
  
Have to agree with the other reviewer on this page. Magazines like Straight No Chaser and tastemakers like Gilles Peterson have done an excellent job of opening up contemporary Brazilian music. Artists like Seu Jorge and Ed Motta are working with an obvious knowledge of and sensitivity to Bossa and Samba, but like Azymuth, Milton Nascimento, Marcos Valle and many more before them, incorporating a great range of styles and influences.

This is not Seu Jorge's most famous album. Most people in Britain are probably more familiar with his work on the Life Aquatic soundtrack and his latest solo album Cru (2005). Carolina isn't as accoustic and folky as the Bowie covers used on Wes Anderson's film. He is much readier to use funk basslines ('Funk Baby') and synths ('Mangueira') to give the album, at times, a more contemporary electronic feel. There's still plenty of singing and a sprinkling of ballads, though, and I'd be surprised if anyone who'd enjoyed the Life Aquatic songs didn't feel this album. My favourite tracks, as it turned out, were the more upbeat numbers like 'Mangueira' and 'Chega no Suingue'.

Got to plug Ed Motta, though - get one of his albums if you like Seu Jorge. And if you like the more 80s basslines & synths, try Benetton's Rio Funk compilation of modern Brazilian dancehall tunes. It's a playful mash-up of sounds that we just don't get in Britain.
