.Although Vives' popular music is actually vallenato-adjacent, he still thinks his tracks spiritually attach to folkloric vallenato. Correct vallenatos, he claims, distinguished tales that would certainly journey from pueblo to pueblo. Los Angeles Gota Fru00eda, a 1938 vallenato by Emiliano Zuleta that Vives notoriously dealt with, records a duel between 2 renowned accordion gamers. In a similar way, Vives and Shakira narrated of 2 good friends meeting to ride their bikes coming from Santa Marta (Vives' home town) to La Arenosa (or Barranquilla, where Shakira is from) in "Los Angeles Bicicleta." Through recording a little item of lifestyle in Colombia, Vives preserves the standard narration of vallenato with his contemporary tracks..
