Before 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 forming a band called La Provincia, the singer and guitarist began performing a local style known as Vallenato, successfully touring his native country 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.

Cumbia Americana Lyrics
Carlos Vives
Brilllante luna de abril
cancin de la Magdalena
La brisa trajo hasta aqu
rumores de cosas buenas
Tu fragancia de alhel
tu cuerpo en la primavera
Esas de ganas de vivir
dejar tu rastro en la arena
No llores Renunciacin
ya estn por venir las fiestas
La Santa Cruz de Monpox
que luce tu cabellera
Te tengo en mi habitacin
adornada con estrellas
Mi mano en tu corazn
y al son de las pilanderas
Lleva tu pareja
A la fiesta de la iguana
Luce tu pollera
Con la cumbia americana
Lleva tu pareja
luce tu pollera
Yo quiero vivir aqu
en esta tierra sagrada
Volver a nacer aqu
en esta tierra olvidada
Estaba pensando en ti
y no saba donde estabas
Pa tus penas escrib
esta cumbia americana
Lleva tu pareja
A la fiesta de la iguana
Luce tu pollera
Con la cumbia americana
Lleva tu pareja
luce tu pollera
