.Although Vives' music is actually vallenato-adjacent, he still thinks his tunes emotionally link to folkloric vallenato. Accurate vallenatos, he claims, determined stories that would certainly travel coming from pueblo to pueblo. Los Angeles Gota Fru00eda, a 1938 vallenato through Emiliano Zuleta that Vives once dealt with, tells a duel between two well-known accordion players. Likewise, Vives as well as Shakira narrated of 2 good friends meeting to ride their bikes coming from Santa clam Marta (Vives' home town) to Los angeles Arenosa (or even Barranquilla, where Shakira is actually from) in "Los Angeles Bicicleta." Through documenting a little part of life in Colombia, Vives keeps the traditional narration of vallenato with his modern tracks..
