Legendary Spanish musician Rosendo Mercado began playing guitar in 1966, soon teaming up with Valeriano Moreno and playing as La Patata Química and Yesca; he joined the band Fresa in 1972. Two years later, after changing their name to Ñu, the group became one of the most popular bands on the local rock scene. In 1978, Rosendo Mercado formed a threesome called Leño, who left a valuable legacy after they disbanded in the early '80s. In 1985, the singer/guitarist decided to go on his own, recording Locos Por Incordiar, playing with bassist Tato Gómez, keyboardist Andreas Schmidgen, and drummer Sergio Castillo. That album, produced by Carlos Narea, was followed by 1986's Fuera de Lugar and 1987's A Las Lombrices.
