The Colombian and Panamanian legends take home Best Tropical Song at the 21st Latin GRAMMY Awards. The lively collab between the two GRAMMY- and Latin GRAMMY-winning legends is from Vives' joyful, cumbia-infused 2020 album, Cumbiana, which won Best Contemporary/Tropical Fusion Album during the Latin GRAMMY Premiere ceremony on November 19, 2020.

Carlos took home a total of three 2020 Latin GRAMMY wins, the other for Best Long Form Music Video for the documentary accompaniment to the album, El mundo perdido de Cumbiana. Columbian multi-Grammy and Latin Grammy award-winning singer, composer and actor Carlos Vives has been a prominent musical figure for over 30 years.

With 14 albums under his belt, including his latest Cumbiana, Vivas has sold tens of millions of copies globally. He is best known for fusing styles of music, such as vallenato, porro, cumbias, pop, rock and reggaeton.

In Cumbiana, Vives does what he does best, brings it all. He incorporates all of these styles of music, while at the same time modernizing them. The first track, “Hechicera” features Canadian R&B singer and songwriter, Jessie Reyez. The song, in both English and Spanish, is an upbeat tropical vibe song. It fuses styles such as pop and cumbia to create a sexy rhythmic song. Vives, throughout his career, has been known as “El Hijo del vallenato,” the son of vallenato.

Vallenato is a popular music style originating from Columbia’s Caribbean coast. It fuses Columbian, African and European cultures. Typically vallenatos include three main instruments, the guacharaca, a percussion instrument associated with indigenous culture, the caja, a drum associated with African culture, and the accordion associated with European culture.

In 1993 Carlos released "Clásicos de la Provincia", which proves to be a timeless classic in Colombian and Latin American music, launching the vallenato on the world stage.Then came "La Tierra del Olvido" (1995), "Tengo Fe" (1997), "El Amor de mi Tierra" (1999), "Déjame Entrar" (2001) and "El Rock de mi Pueblo" (2004) which while not equaling the first success they definitely affirm the singer's maturity.

On July 28, 2017, Carlos Vives presented the new single Robarte in Beso, with Sebastián Yatra, reaches the top places in the world charts and reaches a total of 1.3 billion views on his VEVO channel on YouTube. It was presented at the Viña del Mar 2018 Festival in Chile, which surprised ChocQuibTown, Sebastián Yatra and Wisin.
