about
ASTURCON was a band based in the Asturias region of Spain, and was formed sometime in the second half of the 70's as the creative vehicle of composer and multi-instrumentalist Victor Carrizo, taking the band name from a race of local horses. In 1980 Carizzo (drums, flute, bagpipe, vocals) hit the studio, accompanied by P. Solana (guitars), J. Carlos (keyboards) and J. Carlos Martinez (bass) to record their one and only album - the self-titled production Asturcon, issued in 1981. Blending elements from local and celtic folk music with symphonic art rock was the stylistic expression pursued; according to the crits with a fair degree of success, in particular on the longer creations on this production. The album was reissued on CD in 2004, and is relatively easily available these days due to that.
