Brazilian Musician Seu Jorge Performs 15 Iconic Bowie Songs in Portuguese to Mark the 10th Anniversary of Bowie’s Passing

In 2004, the Brazil­ian musi­cian Seu Jorge record­ed a series of Por­tuguese cov­ers of David Bowie songs for Wes Anderson’s film The Life Aquat­ic with Steve Zis­sou. The next year, he released a full album of 13 Bowie clas­sics, and in 2016–2017, he even took the songs on tour.
