Background and recording
Nuyol was recorded from October to November 1983 at Eurosound and Latin Sound Studios in New York City. The title of the album and its eponymous song, which refers to New York City, comes from a poem from Federico García Lorca. The album also features Brown's second adaptation of a Luis Palés Matos poem in "Ohé Nené". Like in previous Brown albums, there are two songs based on poems from Juan Antonio Corretjer: "Diana de Guilarte" and "Ayuburí". There are also writing contributions from American writers and activists Langston Hughes and June Jordan in "Drum" and "Now you know" respectively. Both songs are in English, as well as "The Drums of Monimbó", penned by Brown. This is the first album from him to feature songs in English.
