The oldest known musical artifacts are some bone flutes that are only 35,000 years old, a blink in an evolutionary time. And although kids are drawn to music early, they still prefer language when given a choice, and it takes years before children learn something as basic as the fact that minor chords are sad. Of course, music is universal now, but so are mobile phones, and we know that mobile phones aren't evolved adaptations.
In the above video, musical phenom Kuha'o plays a beautiful rendition of a dubstep song after hearing it for the first time:
This is a video I shot with no editing. Kuha’o has been playing the piano for about 3 years and has been blind since infancy. He is only 15 years old and can play most songs after hearing it just one time on the piano. I wanted to see what it would sound like if he were to play a dubstep song and it turned out phenomenal!
The full video, including the dubstep song that inspired Kuha'o, is here. More on what it means to be musical here.
