.Although Vives' songs is vallenato-adjacent, he still feels his tracks emotionally hook up to folkloric vallenato. True vallenatos, he mentions, told stories that will take a trip coming from pueblo to pueblo. La Gota Fru00eda, a 1938 vallenato by Emiliano Zuleta that Vives notoriously dealt with, records a battle in between two renowned accordion players. In a similar way, Vives and also Shakira narrated of 2 close friends assembling to use their bikes from Santa clam Marta (Vives' neighborhood) to La Arenosa (or Barranquilla, where Shakira is actually coming from) in "Los Angeles Bicicleta." Through chronicling a tiny item of life in Colombia, Vives protects the conventional storytelling of vallenato via his modern tracks..
