Seu Jorge has gained exposure through his work as an actor and soundtrack composer. He appeared in the critically acclaimed 2002 film City of God as Mané Galinha, directed by filmmakers Fernando Meirelles and Katia Lund, and then played Pelé dos Santos in Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, for which he provided much of the soundtrack in the form of Portuguese language cover versions of David Bowie classics. Bowie later went on to say about his cover album, The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions, that "had Seu Jorge not recorded my songs in Portuguese I would never have heard this new level of beauty which he has imbued them with".
In June 2006, he performed at Bonnaroo music festival in Manchester, Tennessee and at the Festival Sudoeste TMN in Portugal. He has also performed in 2006 at the Bluesfest in Ottawa, Ontario and performed at the Harbourfront in Toronto, Ontario. Jorge's performances are known for their excitement as well as for getting the crowd moving. In January 2010 he performed with Thievery Corporation at the Austin City Limits.
His album 'América Brasil' had a limited Brazilian release in 2007 under his label Cafuné Gravadora, distributed in the UK by Proper Music Distribution. In May 2010, Now-Again Records announced that Jorge's new album, Seu Jorge & Almaz, a collaboration with drummer Pupillo and guitarist Lucio Maia from Nação Zumbi and bassist and composer Antonio Pinto would be released in North America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand on July 27 and in Europe on September 14. The album has been described as "how powerful Brazilian soul music can be".
In 2011, he collaborated with Beck on the Mario C. remix of "Tropicália" for the Red Hot Organization's most recent charitable album Red Hot+Rio 2.
In 2012, he collaborated with American fashion designer Rachel Roy on a line of sportswear, footwear, jewelry and handbags.
In 2015, he was nominated for the 16th Latin Grammy Awards in the Best Brazilian Contemporary Pop Album category.
On September 8, he performed after lighting the cauldron in the 2016 Summer Paralympics opening ceremony in Rio de Janeiro.
According to a DNA test, Seu Jorge is 85.1% African, 12.9% European and 2% Amerindian. He belongs to haplogroup R1b, suggesting that his paternal lineage probably derives from Western Europe.
Judia De Mim
Seu Jorge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Só de ver ela passar
Só de ver ela sem mim
Ainda usa a mesma blusa
Com o broche que eu lhe dei
Combinando com o colar
Eu fico imaginando coisas
Eu fico imaginando coisas
Me pego imaginando coisas
Lembranças de um tempo bom
Que a gente se amava em paz
Que pena que eu vacilei
Agora que não dá mais
Você não me deu perdão
Não tem problema
Espero que esteja bem
Feliz como eu fui feliz
O tempo é quem vai dizer
A vida quem quis assim
Não sou capaz de entender
Como saí de cena
Não dá pra mim
Eu vou voar
Melhor assim
The lyrics to "Judia De Mim" by Seu Jorge depict a sense of confusion and longing for a past love. The singer's mind is filled with thoughts and memories of this person, as they cannot help but notice her when she passes by. Despite the pain of seeing her without him, she still wears the same blouse he gave her and pairs it with a matching necklace. The singer finds themselves constantly imagining various scenarios and what could have been, regretting their own mistakes.
They reminisce about a time when they loved each other peacefully, but acknowledges that they messed up and now there is no chance of reconciliation. The singer accepts that they were not given forgiveness, but wishes for her to be happy and well, just as they were when they were together. The passage of time will ultimately determine the truth and the course of their lives. The singer feels incapable of understanding how they ended up out of the picture, but decides it is best to move on and fly away from the situation.

Ainda usa a mesma blusa
She still wears the same blouse
Com o broche que eu lhe dei

How I became a bystander
Não dá pra mim
It's not for me
Eu vou voar
I'm going to fly
Melhor assim
Better this way
