Andre is a normal, quiet boy who doesn't bother anyone. He's respectful of others and always likes to help. But he's also a bit absent-minded and doesn't have much faith in himself. So when he has to make difficult decisions, he almost always needs a helping hand to guide him. He lives in a normal neighborhood without many aspirations in life. He only aspires to one day become an engineer, but nothing more. His aspirations can easily change if someone puts an idea in his head. That's why his mother always recommends that he only hang out with good people, because she knows he's easily influenced.
She herself has helped him choose his friends, but she doesn't imagine that the last few friends she helped Andre make would change his future forever. Everything is interconnected, and the reason for this was an old electric piano she had in the house. Andre's father bought that piano before he died, when he was still young. He died in a car accident. But he left that piano, and his mother kept it as a family heirloom. And to remember him by. His father's name was Eduardo; he was a musician in his younger years, until he married and then died. That's where the piano came from, from when he was still working in music.
Andre es un muchacho normal y tranquilo que no se mete con nadie. Es alguien respetuoso con otros, y le gusta siempre ayudar. Pero también es un poco despistado y no tiene mucha fe en si mismo. Así que cuando hay que tomar decisiones difíciles casi siempre necesita de una mano amiga que lo guie a decidir. El vive en un barrio normal sin muchas pretensiones de la vida. Solo aspira a algún día llegar a ser ingeniero, pero nada más. Sus aspiraciones pueden cambiar fácilmente si alguien le mete una idea en la cabeza. Por eso su madre siempre le vive recomendando que solo se junte con gente buena, porque sabe que es se deja influenciar rápidamente.
Ella misma le ha ayudado a elegir sus amigos, pero ella no se imagina que los últimos amigos que le ha ayudado a conseguir a Andre le cambiaran el futuro para siempre. Todo está interconectado y la razón fue un viejo piano eléctrico que tenia ella en la casa. Ese piano lo compró el padre de Andre antes de morir, cuando el aún era pequeño. Murió en un accidente de tránsito. Pero dejó ese piano, y su madre lo guardó como una reliquia familiar. Y para poder recordarlo. El padre se llamaba Eduardo, el fue músico en sus años de juventud, hasta que se casó y luego perdió la vida. De ahí vino el piano, de cuando aún trabajaba en la música.

That piano was quite peculiar; it had two rows of keys, like two pianos in one. This caught Andre's attention as a child, so he grew up exploring the piano and then, as he grew older, he learned to play it. But he never showed much interest in music. Even so, his skill was remarkably high. He could play both pianos at the same time, and with different songs. More than a skill, it was almost a gift or talent. His mother often gave him the books his father used to learn new songs so he could continue learning.
Almost to this day, he had mastered that piano almost completely.
He had already lost count of how many times he had played it. The strange thing is that he still didn't show much interest in music. But everything changed one day when his mother introduced him to five new friends. They were the children of former coworkers of Eduardo, his late father, so in a way, these friends were almost family, interconnected by their family history. Andre spent a lot of time with them, and they became best friends. But they did appreciate his skill and talent. One day, to show off in front of them, he played the piano, using both keyboards at the same time. And he played songs combined at the same time. This amazed his five friends.
Ese piano era bastante peculiar, tenia 2 hileras de teclas, era como 2 pianos en uno. Desde niño a Andre esto le llamó la atención, así creció explorando el piano y luego según fue creciendo aprendió a tocarlo. Pero nunca se interesó demasiado en la música. Aún así su habilidad era notablemente alta. Podía tocar los dos pianos al mismo tiempo, y con canciones diferentes. Más que una habilidad era casi un Don o talento. Su madre a menudo le daba los libros que su padre usaba para aprender nuevas canciones y de esa forma el siguiera aprendiendo.
Llegando casi a la actualidad el dominó casi por completo ese piano.
Ya había perdido la cuenta de cuantas veces lo había tocado. Lo extraño es que seguía sin interesarse demasiado por la música. Pero todo cambió un dia cuando su madre le presentó a 5 nuevos amigos. Ellos eran los hijos de antiguos compañeros de trabajo de Eduardo su fallecido padre, así que de alguna forma esos amigos eran casi de la familia, estaban interconectados por la historia de sus familias. Andre pasó mucho tiempo con ellos y llegaron a ser mejores amigos. Pero ellos si que valoraron su habilidad y Don. El un día para presumir delante de ellos tocó el piano, usó los 2 teclados al mismo tiempo. Y tocó canciones combinadas al mismo tiempo. Aquello dejó sorprendidos a sus 5 amigos.

They strongly advised him to take advantage of that ability; he couldn't just leave it forgotten. They told him that he had music in his veins, and that his father had passed it on to him. And that a good way to remember him was to share that gift with others. But he was very indecisive and couldn't bring himself to do anything about it. So they, and now with the help of his mother, signed him up for a small talent contest that would take place in the town in the coming days. They wanted him to show everyone his skills.
That day came sooner rather than later, but he arrived calmly, because he knew he wasn't going to win, or at least that's what he said. Because he was also a little pessimistic, but only a little. When he stepped onto the platform, he saw that there were other good musicians, and that their performances had been impeccable. So that further confirmed to him that he wouldn't be the winner by any stretch of the imagination. But when he started playing both pianos at the same time, the audience was very surprised, because they hadn't seen that before. So they were very impressed. Then Andre stepped off the platform and the next person stepped on.
People had to choose the winner using an app, where they would vote for the performance they liked the most. And to everyone's surprise, Andre, his mother, and his friends were the winner. Since the show was broadcast live around the world, many bands from around the world wanted to collaborate with him. He also received job offers as a guest artist. And the offers kept coming, and everyone said the same thing. He's a hidden talent. And that's how introducing friends opens doors for you. Always choose your friends wisely, so you can go far like Andre.
Ellos le recomendaron encarecidamente que tenia que sacarle partido a esa habilidad, no podía simplemente dejarla ahí olvidada. Le dijeron que el tenia la música en sus venas, y que su padre se la había dejado. Y que una buena forma de recordarlo era compartir ese Don con otros. Pero el era muy indeciso, y no se decidía a hacer nada al respecto. Así que ellos y ahora con la ayuda de su madre lo anotaron en un pequeño concurso de talentos que se desarrollaría en el pueblo en los próximos días. Querían que el mostrara a todos sus habilidades.
Ese día llegó más temprano que tarde, pero el llegó calmado, porque sabía que no iba a ganar, o al menos eso decía el mismo. Porque también era un poquito pesimista, pero solo un poquito. Cuando subió a la plataforma vio que había otros buenos músicos, y que sus presentaciones habían sido impecables. Así que eso le confirmó aún más que el no sería el ganador ni de lejos. Pero cuando empezó a tocar los 2 pianos al mismo tiempo el publico se sorprendió mucho, porque no habían visto aquello antes. Así que se quedaron muy impresionados. Luego Andre bajó de la plataforma y subió el siguiente.
Las personas debían elegir el ganador mediante una aplicación, en ella votarían por la presentación que más les gustó. Y para sorpresa de todos, su madre, el mismo, y sus amigos Andre fue el ganador. Como el programa se transmitió en vivo por muchas partes del mundo, muchas bandas alrededor del planeta querían colaborar con el. Además le llegaron ofertas de trabajo como artista invitado. Y las ofertas no paraban de llegar, todos decían lo mismo. Es un talento escondido. Y fue así como unos amigos que te presentan te abren las puertas. Siempre elije bien tus amistades, para que llegues lejos como Andre.
