Photos: Seu Jorge and Almaz Onstage in LA. Review: LA Times
Seu Jorge and Almaz final performance at Club Nokia was hailed by the LA Times as show in which “….a charismatic pop chameleon and his band subtly but decisively transform cover tunes….. (Seu Jorge) wasn’t indulging in nostalgic reveries. He was demonstrating how songs forever locked in our mental jukeboxes can be subtly but decisively transformed by a suggestive bass line, a spooky dub makeover, a shotgun blast of anguished emotion.”
See photos from the show by Kiwamu Omae, below, and read about the LA Times review in full. We’d like to close this tour diary by shouting out everyone who made this tour such a success: Seu Jorge and Almaz, Mariana Jorge, Gustavo da Lua, Francisco Hernandez, Pierre Chenne, Raquel Jorge and everyone at Cafune, Brazil, Pedja and Julien, Christian Bernhardt and The Agency Group, Havana Joe, KCRW, KEXP and all of the radio stations that helped out along the way and all of the promoters who made these shows possible. Thanks y’all!
