The man who made Bowie speak Portuguese finally gets his encore.
Ten years after the passing of David Bowie, Brazilian artist Seu Jorge revisits the repertoire that shaped a defining chapter of his career. His Portuguese interpretations were first created for The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, directed by Wes Anderson, sparking a deep artistic connection with Bowie's work. After years of touring worldwide — and a final performance without a live audience during the 2020 pandemic — he returns to these songs in a special coastal live stream in São Paulo. Now, an edited version of that performance stands as a tribute to Bowie's enduring legacy.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Seu Jorge's Bowie covers became so iconic that many Brazilian listeners discovered the originals through his versions first — a rare case of artistic translation becoming primary text.
The 2020 pandemic performance without audience was reportedly his lowest point; returning to that footage for this tribute reframes isolation as communion.
