The record was produced by Vives under the executive production of his wife, Claudia Elena Vasquez. The recording of
Pombo Musical took two years in four music studios in Colombia. The album comprises songs from a variety of Colombian folk genres like
vallenato,
bambuco,
joropo and cumbia. Some songs mix genres such as
Latin pop and
pop rock. Opening track, "El Modelo Alfabético" ("The Model Alphabetical"), is a rock-stylized cumbia and vallenato song performed by Vives, the Dúo Huellas, Eduardo Arias and Karl Troller, about being a real gentleman, such as having good manners, and also teaches the alphabet to children. "El Renacuajo Paseador" ("The Tadpole Walker"), is a
bambuco song performed by
Andrea Echeverri, Lucia Pulido, Iván Benavides, Carlos Ivan Medina, Bernardo Velasco, Ernesto Ocampo, Dúo Huellas,
Fundación Batuta Chorus, and Vives. It tells the story about a tadpole named "Rin Rin", that left his home without the approval of his mother "Rana" ("Frog"), and subsequently dies when he hides in the mouth of a duck. In this song, Echeverri added additional lines to it.
Juanes performs on "El Gato Bandido" ("The Bandit Cat"), a pop rock song about a cat that rebels against his family and leaves home, discovering that things are not easy by yourself, and returns feeling repentant.
