Tengo Fe is the third major-label album by Colombian singer/composer Carlos Vives. Released on August 12, 1997, it is Vives's eighth album overall (when counting earlier releases). The album follows La Tierra del Olvido, with a sound that is less dance-oriented, further emphasizing Vives's desire to be taken seriously as a songwriter. The resulting album would be Vives's first major release without a hit single, and garnered a mixed reception due to a departure in Vives's sound and image.
