He was also a long-time friend of Gabriel García Márquez, who included him in his stories and once told him that his own masterpiece novel, 100 years of solitude, was just a 350-page Vallenato. Escalona's songs compile the history and stories of the Magdalena Department of the past 20th century. Escalona was an atypical music composer: he does not play any instruments or sing so his songs can in some ways be difficult to analyze. His songs constitute a legacy of a past generation of Colombians in his memory, a pictorial collage, full of grace, that narrates stories, customs and gossips from his region. He also left a legacy of his loves and pains, humour and poetry. In 1991 Caracol TV produced a television series named , after him.

He first became famous for winning the 2003 season of Story Supernova Music Talents, the reality show that aired on Nova TV. Although he had questionable vocal talents, many observers attributed his Story Supernova Music Talents victory to a perceived bad boy image - popular among teenage girls, who happened to be the most enthusiastic televoters. Unsurprisingly, after the show ended he released only one single which was panned by critics. He was widely described as a one hit wonder even before the single. In 2005, Croatia Records released his album Mangipe. In 2008, he won the top prize of half a million on another Croatian reality show "Farma".
