Vallenatos Belong to Colombian Planters

.Although Vives' songs is vallenato-adjacent, he still believes his songs emotionally hook up to folkloric vallenato. True vallenatos, he says, told tales that would journey coming from pueblo to pueblo. Los Angeles Gota Fru00eda, a 1938 vallenato by Emiliano Zuleta that Vives notoriously dealt with, records a battle between 2 widely known accordion gamers. Similarly, Vives as well as Shakira narrated of two pals meeting up to ride their bikes from Santa Marta (Vives' hometown) to Los angeles Arenosa (or Barranquilla, where Shakira is actually from) in "Los Angeles Bicicleta." By recording a tiny piece of lifestyle in Colombia, Vives preserves the conventional narration of vallenato by means of his present-day tunes..
