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.

El Almirante Padilla Lyrics
Carlos Vives
All en la Guajira arriba
donde nace el contrabando
el Almirante Padilla barri a
Puerto Lopez y lo dej arruinao (bis).
Pobre Tite, pobre Tite...
Pobre Tite Socarras...
ahora se encuentra muy triste
Lo ha perdido todo por contrabande. (bis)
Y ahora padonde ir, y ahora padonde ir?
A ganarse la vida el Tite Socarras
Y ahora padonde ir, y ahora padonde ir?
A ganarse la vida sin contrabande
Barco, pirata, bandido,
que Santo Tomas me crea.
Una fiesta le he ofrecido
Cuando un submarino lo volte en Corea (bis)
Pobre Tite, pobre Tite...
La armada le sali lista
Hombe! que ahora esta muy triste
Lo ha perdido todo por contrabandista (bis)
El que tiene es el que pierde
eso dice Socarras,
ese dicho, no es mi dicho
porque yo Escalona
No he perdido n (bis)
Unos pierden porque juegan
Escalona enamorando
Pero el Tite, pobrecito
Lo ha perdido todo por el contrabando. (bis)
