Iosu Expósito

Iosu Expósito was the guitarist and second singer of Eskorbuto since 1980 to early 1992. Iosu lived his entire life in the city of Santurce (Basque Country). During his childhood enjoyed listening to The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, The Who and then The Clash and Sex Pistols, also he was a great fan of football soccer. Expósito was part of the rock band Zarama, as bass player between 1977 and 1979. In the late 1970s, Expósito worked in a factory at the Santurce harbor. He wrote about the experience in his song, "Cualquier Lugar" (Anywhere). In 1980 formed Eskorbuto with Juanma Suárez and Pako Galán. Iosu would be the band's principal songwriter with occasional contributions from Juanma Suárez. In early 1991, he left the band due to health problems, and was absent from the Eskorbuto Mexico Tour, replaced by Iñaki "Gato". After three weeks, Expósito rejoined to the band, recording Demasiados enemigos... in 1991.
