.Although Vives' songs is vallenato-adjacent, he still feels his tunes emotionally connect to folkloric vallenato. Correct vallenatos, he points out, told stories that would certainly take a trip coming from pueblo to pueblo. La Gota Fru00eda, a 1938 vallenato through Emiliano Zuleta that Vives once dealt with, records a duel between pair of well-known accordion players. Likewise, Vives and Shakira narrated of pair of friends meeting up to use their bikes coming from Santa Marta (Vives' hometown) to La Arenosa (or even Barranquilla, where Shakira is from) in "Los Angeles Bicicleta." By recording a small piece of lifestyle in Colombia, Vives protects the typical narration of vallenato via his present-day tunes..
