Episode: Seu Jorge Sings an Impromtu Version of "Oluan"

Just before his Boston concert, with the sun setting over the Charles River, and street traffic below, Seu Jorge pulled out his guitar and sang a song for us on the fire escape outside the Royale theater. It's called "Oluan," a term from the Yoruba culture and religion in northeast Brazil.
