Jorge Mochales López died March 6th, 2007, of a heart attack. He was 29. Mochales was a well known figure in Spanish Celtic music. He was a member of Asturian band Brenga Astur.

Jorge Mochales was born in San Sebastián de los Reyes (Madrid) and was married to Marta Elola, Brenga Astur's vocalist.

Together with his wife, Marta Elola, he was developing the Museo Etnográfico del Oriente Asturiano (Eastern Asturias Ethnographic Musuem). The couple was also working on a book about the history of the ancient mills in the Llanes area.
