Leño

Leño is a Spanish noun meaning a log or piece of wood used for fuel or construction. In forestry and rural contexts, leño refers to a cut length of timber, typically larger than kindling and suitable for burning in a fireplace or stove.

Leño is also the name of a Spanish rock band formed in Madrid in 1979. The group was led by guitarist and singer Rosendo Mercado and is regarded as an influential precursor in the Spanish rock movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Leño released a self-titled debut album Leño in 1979 and followed with Más Leño in 1980. The band dissolved in 1983, after which Rosendo Mercado pursued a solo career and helped shape Spanish rock through his later work.
