A wonderful celebration for a leading Brazilian artist... As part of the Brazil-France 2025 Season, the Théâtre de la Concorde will host an event concert by Brazilian artist Seu Jorge on April 5 and 6, 2025. The internationally-renowned artist returns to the stage to perform live the entirety of Cru, his legendary album released in 2004, on the occasion of his 20th birthday. Embark on a musical journey that takes in the favelas of Rio, the stages of Bercy and the beaches ofIpanema.
This exceptional concert is also part of the Democracia! weekend, an artistic highlight organized around the question of the links between art and democracy, echoing the month of April devoted to the rise of populism. In this context, the Théâtre de la Concorde is highlighting the committed work of Seu Jorge, the voice of the social struggles that have marked Brazil's contemporary history.
A multi-faceted artist, Seu Jorge has established himself as the spiritual heir of Jorge Ben and Caetano Veloso, with a warm voice, heady rhythms and a resolutely committed approach. Right from the release of Cru, his second solo album, he made his mark with an audacious mix of astonishing covers(Elvis Presley, Gainsbourg) and original compositions. The album, the fruit of a collaboration between the musician and producerJérôme Pigeon, was born in the hustle and bustle of the Favela Chic parties in Paris.
Cru's story is also one of powerful artistic encounters: with Matthieu Chedid, who invited her to perform at Bercy, and Wes Anderson, who was so taken by her cover of Don't that he offered her a role in La Vie aquatique, alongside Bill Murray. Her Portuguese rendition of David Bowie 's songs became a cult favorite.
In this concert, Seu Jorge revives an album that has lost none of its force or relevance. He will be accompanied by Jérôme Pigeon, Pierre Chêne and the Black Service, with the support of SACEM and FIP. Audiences will be able to rediscover live the rich sound of an album that combines the talents of Pretinho da Serrinha, Renaud Letang and the plastic vision of Vik Muniz, author of the original cover.
This show is as much for fans of Brazilian music, as it is for the curious looking for artistic engagement, or for those seeking a rare musical experience in an intimate, vibrant setting. It's the perfect moment for a couple's night out, a get-together with friends or even a cultural interlude on your own, in the heart of Paris's 8th arrondissement.
