Vallenatos Come From Colombian Planters

.Although Vives' songs is vallenato-adjacent, he still feels his songs spiritually attach to folkloric vallenato. Correct vallenatos, he states, told tales that would certainly travel from pueblo to pueblo. Los Angeles Gota Fru00eda, a 1938 vallenato by Emiliano Zuleta that Vives famously dealt with, narrates a duel between pair of popular accordion players. Similarly, Vives and also Shakira narrated of pair of buddies meeting to ride their bikes coming from Santa Marta (Vives' home town) to Los angeles Arenosa (or even Barranquilla, where Shakira is actually from) in "Los Angeles Bicicleta." Through recording a little part of life in Colombia, Vives preserves the traditional storytelling of vallenato through his modern songs..
