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 Playonero Lyrics
Carlos Vives
Yo sal,
yo sal de los playones
yo sal de los playones
que hay a orillas del ro Cesar (bis)
Yo soy el que s enlazar, hombe a los novillos
hombe, a los novillos cimarrones
Que salen de la montaa
a dormir a los playones
y se van de madrugada
por que el tigre se los come
Me llaman,
me llaman el vallenato
me llaman el vallenato
en Codas si tengo renombre (bis)
Yo soy un Panisto Castro, hombe caporal,
hombe caporal de los playones
por que cuando tiro e lazo
ningn toro se me esconde (bis)
Yo tengo,
yo tengo una fama buena
yo tengo una fama buena
extendida en todo el playn (bis)
Porque conozco en la huella, hombe s el novillo
hombe si el novillo cimarrn (bis)
Cuando sale ela montaa
a dormir en el playn (bis)
Yo dej, yo dej una playonera
yo dej una playonera
ay! llorndome en el playn (bis)
Pero me traje su huella, ay hombe, pintada,
hombe, pintada, en el corazn
Lo mismo que la del toro
cuando pisa en el playn
deja la huella en el lodo
en forma de corazn
