During this period he recorded two albums, Yo Protesto (1970) and Basta Ya... Revolución. During that decade he also recorded: Roy Brown III, La Profecía de Urayoán and Distancias. Brown's personal life started to suffer because of his political beliefs. He got into trouble with the police, his father and brother didn't want anything to do with him and he was fired from his job in the university. His mother was also dying.

In the late 70's, Brown moved to New York and formed a group called "Aires Bucaneros", with fellow musicians Zoraida Santiago, Carl Royce, Pablo Nieves, and Rucco Gandía, among others. The group traveled and performed in many countries such as Greece, Germany, Spain, Mexico, Ecuador, Cuba, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, etc. He recorded Aires Bucaneros (1979), Casi Alba (1980), Nuyol (1983), Árboles (1988) and Balada de Otro Tiempo (1989). Arboles was produced by Silvio Rodríguez, in Cuba.
