Como tú

Like you doesn’t sound like the rest of Carlos Vives’s songs. It’s not an accelerated vallenato nor a typical tropical ballad: it’s a track that blends rock and cumbia, with a rhythm that sways leisurely yet relentlessly, as if time itself had adapted to its melody. Vives’ voice sounds deeper and more restrained than in his previous hits, almost as if he were telling a story in a whisper, without needing to shout. What’s most surprising is how the accordion — the star instrument of vallenato — blends with distorted electric guitars, creating a contrast that doesn’t feel forced but natural.
