.Although Vives' songs is actually vallenato-adjacent, he still feels his tracks emotionally attach to folkloric vallenato. Correct vallenatos, he claims, identified tales that will take a trip from pueblo to pueblo. La Gota Fru00eda, a 1938 vallenato through Emiliano Zuleta that Vives notoriously dealt with, tells a battle between two well-known accordion players.

By recording a tiny piece of lifestyle in Colombia, Vives maintains the traditional narration of vallenato through his present-day tracks..
