He was eleven years old when, on the occasion of musical studies, he discovered Paris, where he settled in 1966.

Jean-Paul Amouroux explains the BOOGIE-WOOGIE to us: The boogie is a way of playing the blues on the piano. It is the first style of jazz, born before ragtime, very African in spirit.

This music grabs the audience and carries the dancers along. And Jean-Paul Amouroux loves it!"
