Zürych is a project started by Carlos Ortega from Lanzarote, who after having gone through several bands in Madrid, decides to create his own personal project and present his own songs under that brand on a first album entitled 'Last call'. In 2005 he returned to his island and formed a band with musicians from the local scene, with whom he recorded his second album, 'El Viaje de la Memoria'. The band ended up consolidating with Ane Fernández on guitar, Carlos Toledo on bass, Juanje Luzardo on keyboards and Rubén Padrón on drums. With this formation they recorded 'From the Ashes' in 2010, an excellent collection of songs that allowed them to tour the islands, travel to the United Kingdom and participate in Primavera Sound in 2011, which nevertheless became their last concert. In 2022 they met again to play at the Arrecife en Vivo, but without Juanje Luzardo, replaced by Alejandro González. The current formation has Fernando Arcas on bass.
