Pombo Musical is a children's album produced by Colombian recording artist Carlos Vives , as a musical tribute to the Colombian writer and poet Rafael Pombo. The album came into fruition when Rafael Pombo Foundation president Juanita Santos asked Vives to craft a musical that uses Pombo's most iconic poems and fables he created. Its music incorporates a variety of Colombian folk genres and mixes in contemporary genres like Latin pop and pop rock.

All the lyrics were written originally by Rafael Pombo , and produced by Vives. I am only one of the producers who worked on the record.

It was the dream of many Bogotan musicians to make Pombo Musical, I became the spokesman of them to make the project Pombo's fables, his poems of values and truths, we describe him, whoever works for Pombo works for the children. After finishing the promotion of his previous studio album El Rock de Mi Pueblo , Vives ended his music contract with EMI Latin and took a hiatus, for concentrating on supporting local artists as a producer and songwriter.

He then met Juanita Santos, the president of Rafael Pombo Foundation, who asked them to present a proposal for a musical that uses the most iconic poems and fables created by Pombo. Motivated by this, they began to study many books about Pombo and his works. He stated: "Before we worked musically on some of Rafael Pombo's works, without thinking about making a record, but because somebody had done a melody of Rin Rin".

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.
