2-Year-Old Baby Drummer Stuns The Judges On Popular TV Talent Show

Jul 15, 2021

Most parents agree that it is common for children at the age of 2 to enjoy banging on things. Hugo Molina has taken this to an entirely new level, however. He can play the drums with what seems like perfect rhythm. At an audition on "Spain's Got Talent," the 2-year-old's drum performance was so impressive that it has received more than 10 million views since it was posted in September 2019 on YouTube.

Hugo was the youngest contestant to perform on "Spain's Got Talent." He seemed comfortable with showing off his amazing drumming skills in front of a studio audience. Manuel Jesus is Hugo's father. He carried his young son across the stage and carefully placed him in front of a drum set. One of the hosts was afraid the little boy would be frightened. The host asked the audience not to clap or cheer as Hugo came on the stage. Many people were impressed by how the little boy could see so many people in the studio audience and not get upset and run backstage.

Everyone was likely shocked to see a toddler auditioning for the show. It was obvious Hugo was an adorable child, but they also wondered if a child so young could have any real talent or if it just a game for him to play. Hugo was very cute, but it was a talent contest with many performers who were truly gifted. Being cute was only going to get Hugo so far in such a competition.

The toddler has drumsticks in his hand as he is carried on stage and placed in front of the drum. Some who were watching likely wondered if the young boy knew what he was supposed to do with them. His smile and stage presence made him extremely charming. There was still a question of Hugo having musical talent at such a young age. His ability to melt the hearts of the judges and studio audience was obvious.

When Hugo began to play, the judges and studio audience were stunned by what they heard. This little boy was more than just a cute child; he played the drum and made everyone realize they were watching a natural musician. It begins with the background music starting. Hugo's father looks at his son and asks him, "How do we play the drums?" The child then begins playing music from Semana Santa de Sevilla. This is traditional fiesta music played during Holy Week in Spain.

The judges were amazed by the young boy's talent. He soon showed he could do more. The music picked up the pace, and Hugo easily played faster and used a wooden block to add to his performance. During the entire performance, he had no problem making eye contact with the large crowd. Many people wondered if the toddler knew what was happening around him. Hugo seemed to be a bit surprised by the crowd's response. His drumming performance appears to be effortless.

Hugo's drumming talent overwhelmed everyone. His mother was backstage, and her anxiety seemed to go away as her son's performance made her feel relieved and very proud. She probably knew Hugo could do it, but she likely worried about her little boy performing in front of an audience of thousands. Hugo's father never left his side during the performance. The little boy seemed to get comfortable by seeing his father next to him.

Hugo got four "Yes" responses from the judges and was able to move on to the competition's next round. What's more, this youngster actually won the entire competition during the show's fifth season, taking home 25,000 euros at the age of 2. The young boy has also reached over 10 million viewers online thanks to the Kids Got Talent account on YouTube. Fans of Hugo's audition can follow him on Instagram and YouTube, where his family posts updates regarding his career.
