Watch part two

Filmmaker: Rodrigo Vazquez

Classical music was introduced into Bolivia by Jesuit priests, but the tradition faded.

It is now being resurrected by a classically-trained Bolivian musician who sees this type of music as a way out of the poverty and alienation felt by many young Bolivians. 

Today, this classical music is regaining popularity. Rodrigo Vazquez goes to meet the Bolivians making a very different kind of Jungle Music.

Jungle Music can be seen from Tuesday, January 12, 2010 at the follwing times GMT: Tuesday: 0830, 1900; Wednesday: 0330, 1400, 2330.
