Cucharada was a Spanish rock group formed in Madrid in 1977, consisting of Manolo Tena, José Manuel Díez, Antonio Molina Ramírez, and Jesús Vidal. Initially performing under the name Spoonful, the group participated in the 1978 collective album Rock del Manzanares: Viva el Rollo v.2 with the song “Social peligrosidad”, which was also released as a single on June 5, 1978. In September 1978, the band performed at a rock festival in Madrid alongside Leño and Coz. The ensemble released its debut album, El limpiabotas que quería ser torero (1979), which was produced by Teddy Bautista and featured collaborations with Hilario Camacho and Moncho Alpuente. Following the 1980 single “Quiero bailar rock and roll”, the group served as the opening act for Chuck Berry in July 1981 before disbanding later that year. On October 6, 2015, a reunion concert took place under the name Cucharada, though Díez was the only original member to perform. Between 2019 and 2020, Molina Ramírez and Díez performed sporadically in Madrid under the name Spoonful, but the group never reformed.
