Leny Escudero, born Joaquín Leny Escudero on October 5, 1932, in Espinal (Navarre), Spain, was a French singer-songwriter and actor known for using his music as a tool for social and political commentary. His family fled the Spanish Civil War and moved to France, where Escudero grew up in a refugee camp, an experience that deeply influenced his art and ideals. Escudero's professional music career began in the early 1960s, and he quickly became recognized for his poetic lyrics and his commitment to addressing injustice.

Throughout his career, Leny Escudero built a robust discography characterized by emotionally resonant songs that often explored themes of love, social issues, and the human condition. Some of his most notable works include "Pour une amourette" from 1962, which became an unexpected hit. His album "Escudero 71", "La grande farce", and "Vivre pour des idées" show the breadth of his musical and thematic range. Even as the music industry evolved, Escudero's authentic style and dedication to his convictions earned him a dedicated fanbase and a respected place in French chanson. Escudero passed away on October 9, 2015, but his music continues to inspire and resonate with listeners who appreciate his artistry and his unwavering commitment to social causes.
