.Although Vives' popular music is actually vallenato-adjacent, he still feels his tracks emotionally connect to folkloric vallenato. Correct vallenatos, he says, distinguished stories that would certainly journey coming from pueblo to pueblo. La Gota Fru00eda, a 1938 vallenato by Emiliano Zuleta that Vives famously covered, chronicles a duel in between 2 famous accordion gamers. In a similar way, Vives and Shakira narrated of pair of pals meeting up to ride their bikes from Santa clam Marta (Vives' home town) to La Arenosa (or Barranquilla, where Shakira is coming from) in "Los Angeles Bicicleta." Through chronicling a tiny part of lifestyle in Colombia, Vives protects the conventional narration of vallenato via his modern tunes..
