Sol by H\u00e9lios Gonz\u00e1lez (Album Cover, all rights reserved.)<\/p><\/div>\n

I admire young Latinos living their full potential and creating incredible works of art. In my continuous support of Latino artists, I’d like to showcase the music of someone I recently started following on Twitter:\u00a0H\u00e9lios\u00a0Gonz\u00e1lez<\/a>. I listened to\u00a0H\u00e9lios<\/a>‘ album Sol<\/a> and truly enjoyed the music.\u00a0\u00a0You can feel the talent in every note and the overall musical project is impressive. I am not the most knowledgable person out there when it comes to Latin popular music, but\u00a0H\u00e9lios has opened my mind a bit. I really liked each of the five tracks on\u00a0H\u00e9lios’ album with my top two favorites being Deja el Alma and Sol. You can sample all of the tracks on SoundCloud<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For his first album, H\u00e9lios sought to provide something different. “We wanted to offer something new and refreshing,” \u00a0H\u00e9lios says in his bio. “Many have said the same, but just follow the same rules that have always existed in Latin pop. We wanted to break the mold, and I think we did.”<\/p>\n

H\u00e9lios<\/a> is\u00a0supported by respected producers Alfredo Cevallos and\u00a0Mike Swittel. This talented duo has participated in productions of some of the greatest Latino musicians including Ricky Martin, Christina Aguilera and Puerto Rican flutist Nestor Torres (with whom they won a Latin Grammy,) among many other artists.<\/p>\n

H\u00e9lios Gonz\u00e1lez<\/a> was born in New York City to Puerto Rican parents. He later moved to the island of Puerto Rico where he honed his musical talent. Today\u00a0H\u00e9lios lives in Miami promoting his music to the Latino masses.\u00a0H\u00e9lios is living his dream and I am happy to help promote the music of a fellow Boricua<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So take a listen<\/a>, hear what Latin pop music is today. Support a Latino artist. Buy a iTune<\/a> or\/and share this post.<\/p>\n
