This song mixes together the style of Colombian Vallenato with salsa. The begining verses are more clearly "Vallenato paseo" which were influenced by the groove provided by the "caja vallenata " a percussion instrument from the north coast of Colombia. The melodic and harmonic structure has a clear "salsa" taste, which converge into a powerful blend in the "mambo" part of the song.
