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.

La Mala Suerte Lyrics
Carlos Vives
Dganle a Chema Maestre
tambin a Arturo Molina
que yo me voy pala Guajira
porque aqu tengo mala suerte (bis)
Y si no puedo volver,
porque en la Guajira muero
ay solo quedar el recuerdo
de aqul amigo que se fue (bis)
Yo s que me recordarn
cuando vayan a parrandear
y alguna personalidad que
el pobre Escalona muri ya (bis)
Me rezan de compasin
como a todo el que se muere
ay para que mi alma no pene
por falta de una oracin (bis)
Le dicen a Dina Luz
la ms bella eVillanueva
que vaya a visit a mi cruz
y que me pongan flores nuevas (bis)
Yo s que me recordarn
cuando vayan a parrandear
y alguna personalidad que
el pobre Escalona muri ya (bis)
