Guerrilla Urbana

In the artist's words:

Guerrilla Urbana
Miguel Diaz "Zurda" has been flying the flag for punk rock on the Canary archipelago for over 40 years - be it with his legendary band Escorbuto Crónico or the current band Guerrilla Urbana .His contribution to punk rock in La Laguna (Tenerife) made him the key figure in punk rock for all the other Canary Islands and the catalyst for the explosion of punk rock in the Canary Islands in the 1970s. Zurda is unvarnished, up close and authentic, with all the rage and anger of punk rock in La Laguna.
Guerrilla Urbana
The band was formed in 1983 in La Laguna (Tenerife) and shared a rehearsal room with Escorbuto Crónico, pioneers of punk in the Canary Islands, whose origins date back to the late 1970s. After a few changes in the line-up, the band initially consisted of Ojo Trueno (founder and first bassist of the band), Chiru, Zurda and Cuervo (these three are ex-members of Escorbuto Crónico). With this line-up, they recorded their first studio album "RAZÓN DE ESTADO" (Reason of State) in 1989. Their second album TOQUE A DEGÜELLO was released in 1992. Thefollowing albums were released after that:
PALABRA DE DIOS ...(1994)
SPANISH DIARREA (1996)
BESTIARIO (1999)
