Cuentos de ayer y de hoy is the debut album by the Spanish hard and folk rock band Ñu released in October 1978. This album features a progressive rock style combining hard and folk rock. The flute predominance in the album's sound has been compared with Jethro Tull's style,^[1] but playing a way heavier sound it is in fact a predecessor of folk metal. Regarded as one of the best Spanish progressive rock albums, it has been issued in Spain, Japan and South Korea. The Spanish magazine Efe Eme ranked Cuentos de ayer y de hoy as the 148th best Spanish rock album ever.^[2]
