Bolivia’s New Jazz Sensation Is Just Seven Years Old and Blind.

The young musician began to show signs of his great talent at the age of four when he started playing the drums. After mastering them, he quickly moved on to the piano and by the age of five formed a jazz trio! And, while the young know every jazz song in the book and can play them all with great ease it is not the only kind of music he enjoys. He also loves listening to blues, heavy metal, tango, bolero and anything in between!

His extremely proud father says that he has nothing to do with his son’s unusual talent. In fact he didn’t know much about jazz until Jose started to play.
