Biography

She began her musical career early, at the age of eight, when she joined the Kassala, Sudan-based Red Flowers band (ቀያሕቲ ዕምባባ). The group was formed by the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF)'s local education branch. With the band, she performed in different parts of Sudan as a lead singer.

At the age of 12 in 1978, Helen joined the EPLF, where she was enrolled in the organization's revolutionary school.[1] She is known for her successful transition from ex-war combatant with the group to prominent singer.[2][3]
