THE STUDIO If youve ever heard a half decent beatboxer, you were probably impressed or even amazed.

Its a dazzling thing to watch someone manipulate his or her mouth and breath as they improvise many different sounds all while keeping a beat. That kind of control in any discipline is admirable at the very least.

But there are beatboxers, and then there are beatboxers who are so amazing at their craft you cant believe they are human. In this video, youll meet one of the latter in the form of a Portuguese beatboxer called JEWOW. And as far as Im concerned, the emphasis is on the wow.

Heres what I want you to do. I want you to press play then close your eyes before the beatboxing begins. If you think youre hearing a sound from a machine or instrument beyond the human voice, open your eyes. I guarantee you will see a human that sounds exactly like a machine. The practice it must take to get that sort of precision must be staggering, but Im glad we get to witness the entrancing result.
