Carlos Vives - Tour Al Sol

Carlos Vives brings his Tour Al Sol to Toronto on 17 April 2026 at the Coca-Cola Coliseum. Raised on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, the singer and songwriter moved from early Spanish-language pop-rock to a personal take on vallenato in the 1990s, blending acoustic instruments, Caribbean rhythms, cumbia, rock and pop. Albums like Clásicos de la provincia and La tierra del olvido opened the path to larger stages across Latin America and the U.S., followed by Tengo fe, El amor de mi tierra and Déjame entrar. In the 2000s, he pushed a more electric, urban edge with El rock de mi pueblo and later Corazón profundo, while collaborations with Shakira and Marc Anthony expanded his reach. Recent records Vives and Cumbiana keep circling back to coastal traditions with a modern twist. Live, Vives threads accordion-led vallenato with guitars and percussion, moving between early classics and newer tracks for a set built on groove, melody and the pulse of the Colombian Caribbean.
