In 1939 his father, a German Jew, fled to Uruguay with his family at the age of four to escape the Holocaust.〔 His family also fled to Bolivia and lived there. At the time only Bolivia among South American countries was widely open to Jewish immigrants. And over six decades later as his gratitude to Bolivia he made a song, which is included in ''Bailar en la Cueva''.〔 His mother is a Christian of mixed Spanish, French, and Portuguese descent.〔 Drexler was raised Jewish, 〔 but does not follow any organized religions. Like much of his family, he studied medicine and became an otolaryngologist—an ear, nose and throat specialist. Drexler began playing piano at age five, before attending guitar and composition classes. Although he had an interest in music, he became a doctor like both of his parents. He attended medical school in Montevideo.〔 During his time in medical school, Drexler took a break to hitchhike through Brazil.〔 He also studied music and recorded two albums, which were only released in Uruguay. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jorge Drexler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
