Vallenatos Belong to Colombian Planters

.Although Vives' music is actually vallenato-adjacent, he still believes his tunes spiritually connect to folkloric vallenato. True vallenatos, he claims, told tales that would journey coming from pueblo to pueblo. Los Angeles Gota Fru00eda, a 1938 vallenato by Emiliano Zuleta that Vives once covered, records a duel in between two well-known accordion players. In a similar way, Vives and also Shakira told a story of pair of friends meeting to use their bikes from Santa clam Marta (Vives' neighborhood) to Los angeles Arenosa (or even Barranquilla, where Shakira is actually coming from) in "La Bicicleta." By chronicling a tiny item of lifestyle in Colombia, Vives protects the traditional storytelling of vallenato by means of his modern tracks..
