Background and recording edit

Balada de Otro Tiempo was recorded from February to March 1989 at Ochoa Studios in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Like Brown's previous albums, it contains songs inspired by poems by Luis Palés Matos ("Pueblo negro") and Juan Antonio Corretjer ("Inabón Yunes"). It includes the song, "Melena al viento", based on a poem by Luis Lloréns Torres. The Puerto Rican singer/songwriter Rucco Gandía also contributes with the song "Sofía".
