Por Fuera y Por Dentro is the first album released by Colombian singer/composer Carlos Vives. Its release date was June 6, 1986. Vives was best known as the star of television soap operas at the time of its release. The album contains romantic ballads with heavy use of synthesizers, and precedes the era before Vives started singing vallenato, the genre that he has been associated with for the most part of his career. As it was the case with his next early albums, this was not a commercial success, and it's his least known record. Largely ignored by the public, the album is a collector's item for fans, and is a difficult find.

y es por eso que doy gracias a Dios, y es por eso que hoy doy gracias a fercho, que vive soñando; gracias a josep, que cruzó el atlántico; a ricardo, al mono levy por estar en la batalla, a rubiela por sus tintos y a judith que está esperando.gracias a mis amigos de la calle, a mis hermanos luis, guillo y juanchi que está lejos, y por pensar en el canté con más ganas.
gracias a la mujer que vive en mí y gracias papá y mamá por hacerme cantando."

Translated into English, reads:
"When I dreamed of recording this album were not many who took flight with me , but those few were enough to let me know on the outside and inside.
and that is why I thank God, and that is why today I thank fercho, who lives dreaming; to josep , who crossed the Atlantic ; to ricardo , the blond levy for being in the battle, rubiela for her black coffee and Judith who is expecting.thanks to my friends in the street, my brothers Luis , guillo and juanchi who is far , and I sang harder thinking of him.
thanks to the woman who lives in me and thanks Mom and Dad for making me singing."
