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.

Recuerdo que Jaime Molina
cuando estaba borracho pona esta condicin
que... si yo mora primero l me haca un retrato
o... si l se mora primero le sacaba un son (bis)
Ahora prefiero esta condicin
que l me hiciera el retrato y no sacarle el son. (bis)
Famosas fueron sus parrandas
que a ningn amigo dejaba dormir
cuando estaba bebiendo, siempre me insultaba
con frases de cario que l saba decir (bis)
Despus en las piernas me sentaba
me contaba un chiste y se pona a rer.(bis)
La cosa comenz muy nio
Jaime Molina me ense a beber
Adonde quiera estaba, l estaba conmigo
y donde quiera estaba, yo estaba con l (bis 2)
Ahora me duele que l se haya ido
yo qued sin Jaime y l sin Rafael. (bis)
