Carlos Vives

A major figure in Colombian music brings a career-spanning celebration to Miami with a performance rooted in three decades of innovation and global influence.

Carlos Vives appears at the Kaseya Center on Saturday, May 23 as part of Tour al Sol, a North American run marking the 30th anniversary of La Tierra del Olvido, the landmark album that reshaped vallenato for a worldwide audience. Known for blending traditional Colombian rhythms with pop, rock and Caribbean influences, Vives will perform alongside his longtime band La Provincia in a concert designed to highlight both his musical legacy and the vibrant sound that defined it.

The tour incorporates visual themes inspired by the sun and the natural landscapes of the Colombian Caribbean, framing songs such as “La Gota Fría,” “Fruta Fresca” and “Déjame Entrar” within an immersive, high-energy production. For Miami, the performance offers a chance to experience Vives’s genre-defining approach in a large-scale arena setting, reflecting his continued impact on Latin music and culture.
