Rosendo

Rosendo Mercado Ruiz, recognized to Spanish rock and roll enthusiasts only by his initial name, was created in Madrid on Feb 23, 1954. Rosendo was raised in the city of Carabanchel, where he’d live for some of his adult lifestyle. Having learned electric guitar young, he dropped away from engineering college as a adult to be able to play full-time. He became a member of a cover music group known as Fresa, which as time passes and some employees changes became the favorite Spanish rock-band Nu. After documenting an album using the group, Rosendo divided off in 1977 because of personality issues with a few of his bandmates. He got the band’s bass participant and drummer with him and shaped a fresh group known as Leño. Within this brand-new formation, Rosendo produced his documenting debut on some compilation information released with the Chapa Discos label in 1978. A season afterwards Leño released their self-titled debut, accompanied by their sophomore work Mas Madera in 1980. Following a effective live disk En Directo (1981) and Corre Corre (1982) Leño participated within the wildly effective Rock and roll de una Noche de Verano tour. Having reached fresh heights of recognition, the band split up in nov 1983. Rosendo lost short amount of time in getting into his single profession, initiated by his 1985 launch Loco por Incordiar. Though a lot of his early produces as a single artists experienced criticism (Fuera de Lugar, A Todas las Lombrices) Rosendo remained artistically energetic. He documented prolifically through the entire ’80s and ’90s, producing almost an archive per year for just two years. For his accomplishments and incredible stamina, Rosendo was granted the Medalla de Oro al Merito en las Bellas Artes in 2006, that was accompanied by his 2007 launch Un Endemico Enbustero con un Incauto Pertinaz.
