Vallenatos Belong to Colombian Planters

.Although Vives' music is actually vallenato-adjacent, he still believes his tracks spiritually connect to folkloric vallenato. True vallenatos, he mentions, saw stories that would take a trip from pueblo to pueblo. Los Angeles Gota Fru00eda, a 1938 vallenato through Emiliano Zuleta that Vives once covered, tells a duel between two widely known accordion gamers. Similarly, Vives and Shakira told a story of pair of buddies assembling to ride their bikes coming from Santa clam Marta (Vives' home town) to La Arenosa (or even Barranquilla, where Shakira is actually from) in "Los Angeles Bicicleta." Through chronicling a tiny part of lifestyle in Colombia, Vives protects the traditional narration of vallenato via his present-day songs..
