While performing at the Vallenato Festival in Colombia over the weekend, Maná invited Carlos Vives onstage to sing their classic song “Oye Mi Amor.”
Vives later took to Twitter to share the special moment with Maná, “Thank you Maná for inviting me to sing with you guys last night.”

Vives couldn’t leave the stage without singing with Maná his vallenato “La Gota Fría.”
