.Although Vives' songs is vallenato-adjacent, he still believes his tracks emotionally link to folkloric vallenato. True vallenatos, he mentions, saw stories that will journey coming from pueblo to pueblo. La Gota Fru00eda, a 1938 vallenato by Emiliano Zuleta that Vives once dealt with, tells a duel between 2 widely known accordion players. Similarly, Vives and also Shakira told a story of 2 good friends meeting up to ride their bikes from Santa Marta (Vives' home town) to La Arenosa (or Barranquilla, where Shakira is coming from) in "Los Angeles Bicicleta." Through chronicling a small piece of lifestyle in Colombia, Vives preserves the standard storytelling of vallenato by means of his modern tracks..
