I believe you'll find him in Brazil...
Isn't it the same guy on this video?
viewtopic.php?t=16540&highlight=cego It's hard to tell with this "quality" video. The name is Marcelo Cego.

He is from Brazil. And yes he is blind.
In that kind of music he is hte best I know. Very fast, and exuberant and full of rythm.
makes me cry...

Yes, I did notice him playing a Monette. I didn't want to say anything about it, but now I will: Even on professional recordings, great semi-pros, etc., he's the first person I've heard that is worth it, even of the big boys. I am not worthy.

If he's from Brazil, could it be a Weril?

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
