To speak of Pajaro Sunrise is to speak of León-born Yuri Méndez. Ester Rodriguez, Jesus Montes and Sebastian Giudice from the Amigos Imaginarios, and Javier Jimenez and Pedro López from the Barrunto Bellota Band have all recorded with him, and have ceased to be just the musicians who accompanied him live, transforming themselves into the current members of Pajaro Sunrise. The group has toured all around Spain; has crossed to Pyranees to play in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, and the Czech Republic; and have flown to Japan and Dubai. They have also been a part of various festivals, like Jazzaldia, Primavera Sound, Faraday and Indyspensable. In addition to recording his own albums, Yuri has also flexed his muscles as producer for other artists, and his songs have been found on various soundtracks (films like "Missing Lynx" and TV series like "Castle"), as well as in advertising campaigns.
