El rock de mi pueblo

When Carlos Vives embarked on the creation of El Rock de Mi Pueblo, he set out to fuse the roots of vallenato with the energy of rock, a sound he had already been exploring. This album, released in 2004, was the result of a recording process that extended between 2003 and 2004, seeking a balance between the traditional and the modern. The production featured the collaboration of figures such as Emilio Estefan Jr., Sebastián Krys, and Andrés Castro, who helped shape this sonic proposal that encompasses genres like Spanish rock, vallenato, and Latin pop. The album, with a total duration of 42 minutes and 15 seconds, was distributed worldwide by EMI/Virgin Records, in addition to its original release in Colombia under the Sonolux label.
