'''''La Tierra de Olvido''''' is the classic follow up to [[Carlos Vives]]'s breakthrough album [[Clasicos de la Provincia]]. Released on July 25, [[1995]] it is considered as Vives's second release proper, and his seventh album overall (when counting earlier as well as independent releases). The album's success was not only important in soldifying Vives's career as one of [[Colombia]]'s biggest music artists, it was also his first major record to contain original music in the [[vallenato]] style.

== Album credits ==
With the success of [[Clasicos de la Provincia]], many fans throughout Latin America and Europe had become entranced by the budding singer's take on [[Colombian]] [[vallenato]]. A decade prior, Carlos was better known as a soap opera star in such [[telenovelas]] as [[La Otra]] and [[Aventurera]], juggling his acting with a career as a romantic baladeer. The result of his musical aspirations resulted in three albums ([[Por Fuera y Por Dentro]] ([[1986]]), [[No Podrás Escapar de Mí]] ([[1987]]), and [[Al Centro de la Cuidad]] ([[1989]])), which met with varying degrees of success, but were largely overlooked outside of Colombia. The popularity of Carlos's fledging fame brought about a number of new compilations, such as '''20 de Collecion''', and re-releases of Carlos's older work, which were largely unavailable to the mainstream public. Despite the differences that were found in Vives's older albums, fans had fallen in love with the fusion of [[vallenato]] and [[rock]] prevalent in Carlos's defining sound, introducing old rhythms into a new generation of music.

Having found his voice in his hometown roots of [[Santa Marta]] and its [[vallenato]], Carlos had become a master at reinterpreting Colombian standards into the mainstream. However, his greatest challenge would be maintaining the fire he ignited as Colombia's hottest musical export. While [[Clasicos de la Provincia]] was a rousing success, establishing his validity as an artist would only be judge by his future releases. In order to face the challenge of a [[sophomore-slump]]
