After playing with some bands, he founded Ñu with Carlos Molina, but some disagreements between them made him leave the band and join Leño in 1978, who achieved success and created the called "Rock urbano" (Urban rock).
In the top of their career, they decide to dissolve because of the bad relationship of the components.
In 1985 Loco por incordiar is released, his first album as Rosendo, with a more classical rock sound.
Since then he has published 19 LPs, El endemico embustero y el incauto pertinaz (2007) being the last.
Del Pulmón
Rosendo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
de lo que tienes
y algo que te ponga yo
compras la sal
y luego vienes
y me pagas el favor.
Vienes y vas
y te entretienes
bailas al son
que te conviene
y yo enfermo del pulmón.
Que desastre somos dos
uno quiere y otro no
The lyrics to Rosendo's song Del Pulmón depict a scene between two people with very different priorities in life. The first verse talks about how the singer agrees to help out the other person, who only has "a little more than what they have" and "something I can give you" to offer in return. The singer buys salt for them, and the other person returns to pay them back. However, rather than leaving, they stick around and dance to music that suits them while the singer smokes and deteriorates with lung problems.
The chorus is a reflection on the two's relationship dynamic. They are a "disaster" together because one person wants to make the effort, and the other person does not. Their conflicting priorities and willingness to live life in different ways create a sense of discord that cannot be resolved.
Overall, the lyrics of Del Pulmón paint a vivid picture of the consequences of choices in life. One character chooses to party and dance, while the other chooses to work and take care of their health. The divide between their lifestyles creates a rift that cannot be reconciled in the context of the song.

Rosendo, el más grande de los rockeros, que ha sabido reflejar en sus canciones las inquietudes de la juventud, y los barrios en su época...
