Many artists had covered the song include Carlos Vives, Grupo Niche, Ray Conniff, Gran Pachanga, Los Joao, La Sonora Dinamita, Julio Iglesias, Tulio Zuloaga, and Alfredo Gutiérrez.

In 1994, Colombian vallenato performer Carlos Vives covered the song on his album, Clásicos de la Provincia.

[2] With vallenato being the musical style of Colombia's northern coast, the location of Carlos's Santa Marta birthplace, Vives found success embracing his hometown roots.

[3] As the title implies, the album consists of Colombia's vallenato classics, not only popular during its time, but in a new rock style, nearly turning the songs into new compositions.

The feeling inside of it represents in a perfect way the festive spirit of Colombian people", and named it as ideal track for any Latin party.

[9] The music video for "La gota fría" was shot in the Romelio Martínez Stadium in Barranquilla, and Pescaíto (a popular neighborhood of his native Santa Marta), the two locations are in Colombia.

At 4:00 AM the next day, La Provincia and Carlos Vives, left Barranquilla because they needed to shoot some scenes of the music video in Santa Marta.
