Jorge Arraiza (born June 27, 1970 in San Juan, Puerto Rico) is a Puerto Rican musician most known for being the bassist of the Rock en Español band Fiel a la Vega.

Biography

Jorge Arraiza is one of the sons of Manuel Arraiza and Eneida González. When he was 12 years old, he received an acoustic guitar and, pressed by his brother José, develops an interest for the rhythm & blues. At this time, he also starts listening to The Who becoming a huge fan of John Entwistle whom he credits as his biggest influence.

In 1986, he forms a band with his cousin Milo called "Crossroads". His intention was to play music of the 60s and the 70s, but singer Tito Auger wanted to focus on Top 40 hits. The band shortly disbanded and Arraiza kept on working with his brothers (José and Pedro) forming a band called "Los Arraiza Voladores" in 1989, also with cousin Milo.

In 1994, he reunites with Tito Auger and Ricky Laureano to form the band Fiel a la Vega. The band quickly achieved great success in the island releasing several radio hits and winning several awards. As of 2007, the band has released four studio albums (Fiel a la Vega -1996-, A quien pueda Interesar -1998-, Tres -1999-, and La Prosperidad -2002-) They also produced two live concert CD's (El Concierto Acústico -1997- and El Concierto Sinfónico -2001-), a hits compilation (Desde El Comienzo 1994-2004) which contained two new songs and two remakes of earlier hits ("El Wanabí" and "Canción Para Vieques"), came out in 2005.

Aside of his work with Fiel a la Vega, Jorge occasionally collaborates with his brother José Arraiza in a rock n roll and blues project (Los Arraiza Voladores). He also enjoys cooking and comedy.
