Hi, I´m Enrique Hellmers. Before anything else: Thank you for stopping by and hearing these songs! I was born October 9, 1961. At the age of 9, after becoming deft from my right ear with an annoying "White" noise on it, I asked my mother to teach me about the guitar she used to play. So, she did by showing me the 7 basic chords. At that time, I had two older brothers who listened all day long to the late 60s and 70s music of ELTON JOHN, THE BEATLES, LED ZEPPLIN, GRAND FUNK, YES, JETHRO TULL, JANICE JOPLIN, CREEDENCE, BREAD, CAT STEVENS, CHICAGO, CROSBY STILLS AND NASH, THE CARPENTERS, JAMES TAYLOR, CARLY SIMON, and THE BEE GEES. All these songs were "THE MUSIC" for me. I got truly in loved with it and hear it all the daylong! Suddenly, tragedy touched my family, losing my beloved older brother, MITO, the one who brought all these songs into my life. He crashed in a BONANZA A36 plane doing aerobatics, what he liked to do most. After that very sad day, my family began spinning downward, losing almost everything including the family business, happiness and even faith. A long story! My heart started to know what pain was, touching the very bottom for many years. All my dreams were left behind because survival was first. This gave me a strong need to find answers, to express myself and, nonetheless, THE NEED to grow up as a man, a man for LOVE. GOD is fair, He never takes more than you can face. He invited me to seek the answers in the music. Music was the way I found to connect again to faith and love. Music about GOD's help and trust. Music to express that everything is nothing but a great opportunity to get closer to what I think we really are: Loving Souls Growing in Eternal Life. Since I don´t sing nor play good enough to do it myself, as a solely author/singer/player, I decided to give young people, singers and secessionists, an opportunity to show themselves by singing my songs under my artistic name EH CONNECTED. For it, I´ve put them together along with a great sound engineer, Sergio Cuquejo, and with God´s help and guidance we got these songs recorded and available in downloads for free here in the site. Again, thank you for stopping by and hearing these songs!
