About Me |
|
| Hector Otto, better know in the music industry as Hettory, has been playing the guitar for 25 years, he graduated from La Escuela Libre de Musica, with additional studies done at La SCAM and advanced harmony with Tony Bravo. His musical influences span from Bach in classical music to Joe Pass and Jimmy Page in Jazz and Rock along with the great guitar masters Jennifer Batten, Vinnie More and Al Dimeola just to name a few. Aspic, Quasar, El Amor, Grand Elite, Obsesion, Liverpool and Tonight were groups that he was in which helped to form the final project Hettory Band. The musical groups The Platters, Las Gemelas, and Paloma are also part of his musical experience. Hettory has written many songs, mainly instrumental, but he has also written some with lyrics. On television he has appeared in many programs such as ECO on Televisa, Estrellas de los noventas and some others on TV Azteca. He has been showcased in “El Teatro de la Nacion,” “Teatro Hidalgo,” and “Teatro Maria Teresa Montoya” in Mexico City. His musical experiences have given him the opportunity to travel throughout Mexicao, and work in different venues, such as Hard Rock Café in Puerto Vallarta, Hotel Cristal in Ixtapa, Hotel Camino Real and Artistos in the state capital. He launched his first CD “Hettory” in 1985, “Hettory Band” in 1996, “Instru-Mental” came out in 1997 and “La Guitarra” in 2001. In “La Guitarra” he uses only his guitar to make all the different instrumental sounds that are heard in every one of the tracks on the album. On a personal level, beginning in 1999 he started studying Buddhist meditation in the Kadampa tradition, which has helped him grow internally and has been the inspiration for many musical tracks such as: Kelsang Gyatso, Compassion, Meditation, Ganden Tap, Bodhisawa, and Las Tres Joyas among others. Other than studying languages in the Americana Village in El Paso, Texas, he also has had the chance to perform locally which has opened opportunities for him to meet great instrumentalists like Stanley Jordan and Jeff Berlin just to name a few. He is considered by many critics and musicians alike as one of the best guitarists on the border especially in the movement of “Fusion Jazz.”In 2005 he produced the CD “Portrait,” an artistic and musical project created jointly with his brother Otto. in 2007 he produced the CD '' FREE TIBET'' with Poncho on the bass and JULIO MENA on drums........................ Oscar, who was the first drummer that the group had incidentally, and was the person who first taught him how to play the bass. As time went on Hector, Alfonso and Oscar started getting together more often and played together more often, which lead to many great opportunities to land great gigs. Hettory Band played at many places like The Hard Rock Cafe, El Museo de el Chopo, Sala Chopin, and the best known bars in the city. Hettory Band recorded their first CD Hettory Band in 1996, followed by Instru Mental in 1997.la guitarra 2001,portrait 2003 and free tibet 2007. ...........................Julio Mena (drums) from los angeles california he graduated on one of the best music school in L.A. he moved to el paso tx. where he knew to hettory ,he likes the instrumental stuff of hettory band and began to play with them and recording in the new C.D.
