It remains to be seen whether Brazilian singer Seu Jorge will perform his own sexy, samba-driven songs, or the set of the David Bowie covers that he played in the film The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. We’ll hope for more of the former, since the Bowie songs, sung in Portuguese to spare and jangly guitar accompaniment, have overshadowed Jorge’s own noteworthy songwriting. It only takes a brief listen to last year’s Cru to realize that his is hardly a novel talent, one marked by the street influences from a homeless childhood in Rio de Janeiro. 416 Cedar Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612-338-2674; www.thecedar.org
