Read Full BioBefore he graduated from Jorge Tadeo Lozano's University with a publicist degree, singer/songwriter Carlos Vives joined different bands and participated in several plays. In 1982, the artist got a role in the Colombian TV series Tiempo Sin Huella, starting his successful acting career, later extending his professional skills to the Puerto Rican television.

After participating in some teen programs as a singer/actor, he got the main role in the telenovela (soap opera) "Gallito Ramírez," which made him a famous actor. Later, another telenovela, "Escalona" made him return to his "costeño" roots (he was born in Santa Marta, the same town of the famous soccer player "El Pibe" Valderrama, located in the north coast of Colombia) and mainly to sing classic vallenato songs of one of the most prestigious vallenato composers, Rafael Escalona. The soundtrack of "Escalona" quickly became a major hit in radio and CD sales and allowed vallenato to conquest other colombian cities outside the "costa" (north coast) that hadn´t previously accepted it.

After forming a band called La Provincia, the singer and guitarist began performing a local style known as Vallenato, successfully touring his native country, Colombia, and South America. In 1994, Carlos Vives' "La Gota Fria," became his first smash, climbing on the most important music charts around Latin America. In 1996, under the slogan of Unete A Los Locales (Join the Local Ones), the talented musician created his own label, called Gaira, to promote and give an incentive to local artists like "Bloque de Búsqueda" and "Distrito".

Carlos Vives also hosted an important show of the Colombian TV, "La Tele". With irreverent and sometimes escatologic humour this program promoted the figures of Martin De Francisco and Germán Moure, in a country where criticism has always been divorced of popular jokes. This program was then reborn as an animated version which turned to be the first weekly 25 minute animated series of Colombia and Latinamerica, called "El Siguiente Programa" ("The Next Show")

His style, which mixes vallenato, rock and champeta (an African-influenced music) was then used by several Colombian artists, giving birth to the "Tropipop" movement.

La Bicicleta
by Carlos Vives and Shakira

Nada voy a hacer
Rebuscando en las heridas del pasado
No voy a perder
Yo no quiero ser un tipo de otro lado

A tu manera, descomplicado
En una bici que te lleve a todos lados
Un vallenato desesperado
Una cartica que yo guardo donde te escribí
Que te sueño y que te quiero tanto
Que hace rato está mi corazón
Latiendo por ti, latiendo por ti
La que yo guardo donde te escribí
Que te sueño y que te quiero tanto
Que hace rato está mi corazón
Latiendo por ti, latiendo por ti

Puedo ser feliz
Caminando relajada entre la gente
Yo te quiero así
Y me gustas porque eres diferente

A mi manera, despelucado
En una bici que me lleva a todos lados
Un vallenato desesperado
Una cartica que yo guardo donde te escribí
Que te sueño y que te quiero tanto
Que hace rato está mi corazón
Latiendo por ti, latiendo por ti
La que yo guardo donde te escribí
Que te sueño y que te quiero tanto
Que hace rato está mi corazón
Latiendo por ti, latiendo por ti

Ella es la favorita, la que canta en la zona
Se mueve en su cadera como un barco en las olas
Tiene los pies descalzos como un niño que adora
Y sus cabellos largos son un sol que te antoja
Le gusta que le digan que es la niña, la lola
Le gusta que la miren cuando ella baila sola
Le gusta más la casa, que no pasen las horas
Le gusta Barranquilla, le gusta Barcelona

Lleva, llévame en tu bicicleta
Óyeme, Carlos, llévame en tu bicicleta
Quiero que recorramos juntos esa zona
Desde Santa Marta hasta La Arenosa
Lleva, llévame en tu bicicleta
Pa' que juguemos bola 'e trapo allá en Chancleta
Que si a Pique algún día le muestras el Tayrona
Después no querrá irse pa' Barcelona

A mi manera, descomplicado
En una bici que me lleva a todos lados
Un vallenato desesperado
Una cartica que yo guardo donde te escribí
Que te sueño y que te quiero tanto
Que hace rato está mi corazón
Latiendo por ti, latiendo por ti
La que yo guardo donde te escribí
Que te sueño y que te quiero tanto
Que hace rato está mi corazón
Latiendo por ti, latiendo por ti

Lleva, llévame en tu bicicleta
Óyeme, Carlos, llévame en tu bicicleta
Que sí a Pique algún día le muestras el Tayrona
Después no querrá irse pa' Barcelona
Lleva, llévame en tu bicicleta
Óyeme, Carlos, llévame en tu bicicleta
Que si a mi Pique tú le muestras el Tayrona
Después no querrá irse pa' Barcelona
