Review: The Beatles - Portuguese Covers: Seu Jorge and Rita Lee

The Beatles news, reviews, videos, photo gallery and free mp3 playlist.

I love cover songs performed in different languages than the original recordings. It provides a neat perspective on music, and unifies cultures in a cool way. Every culture cherishes music, and just like with books, there’s something really special about a musician honoring another musician from a different country by closing the language barrier and translating their works of art. Right now, I’m going to focus on two Portuguese musicians, Seu Jorge and Rita Lee, who covered David Bowie and The Beatles, respectfully. You may have heard of Seu Jorge before, especially if you are a Bowie or Wes Anderson...
