Description
Roy Brown/Aires Bucaneros was a Puerto Rican New Song group formed during the first months of 1978, in New York City. That year the group toured California and the East Coast of the United States; participated as part of the U.S. delegation in the XIth World Festival of Youth and Students in Cuba; and toured Puerto Rico, where they recorded this, their first L.P.

Roy Brown, director of the group, was one of the founders of the Puerto Rican New Song Movement and a member of its pioneer group, Grupo Taoné. He was an active member of the Puerto Rican independence movement. The Puerto Rican New Song Movement was both an effort to add new vigor to Puerto Rican folk expression and a search for new poetic and musical elements. It started out as a protest song movement, its musicians usually identifying themselves with the cause of Puerto Rican independence, but evolved into a popular song movement.

Spanish lyrics and English synopsis included. Many song are adaptations of poems.
