The Greatest Of All Time -
@louievega ✊🏽
Every one has a story about Louie Vega story, a leader in global dance music,
@soulacedsessions with
@edsoulsa has given us yet another opportunity to be part of the legacy of the kid born in the Bronx into a musically gifted family (his father is a jazz saxophonist and his uncle, Salsa King Héctor Lavoe)
Had a chat about new upcoming music that he’s done with
@brian__jackson who worked for years with thee iconic Gil Scott-Heron and currently out is “It's Your World” featuring Raheem DeVaughn & J. Ivy. There’s an upcoming Masters At Work project and music from Elements Of Life.
We’re talked about the now released remixes of “Loot” by Mafikizolo which features a remix from Masters At Work, A Dub Alt Remix and a Jaden Thompson Remix. All this couldn’t have happened if Louie Vega never traveled to South Africa for the first time 26 years ago in the year 1999 where he met SA music leaders
@oskidoibelieve of Kalawa Jazzmee ,
@gregmaloka ,
@djfreshsa ,
@realblackcoffee ,
@therealvinnydavinci and
@djchristossa of Dj At Work as well as other music legends.
He mentioned the journey releasing some old tape that of Master Of Work with
@djkennydope , currently sitting on MAW Lost Tapes 23 with the 2 singles titled “MAW AI” and “Mutin’ Hook”
Mentioned music that he’s made music with
@msaki_za , which he played exclusively at the
@soulacedsessions .
We talked about upcoming producers and DJs and highlighted the significant influence played by Kid Fonque who made him notice people like
@realfkamash ,
@chronicaldeep ,
@thakzin01 ,
@dacaposa ,
@enoonapa ,
@caiirosa ,
@shimza.dj and
@atmosblaq
Ibiza is another stop for the year, he’ll be yet again meeting up
@realblackcoffee at
@hiibizaofficial . They’ve both made music with artists Hugh Masikela,
@bucie_nkomo @kaylowofficial , Msaki,
@monique.bingham ,
@portiamonique and played together.
We talked about “Starring…XXVII”. The album doesn’t appear in SA streaming services which is probably a licensing issue.
Words cannot describe the honour I had of meeting up with one of music’s royalty and I’ll Cherish these memories forever.
@louievega , just i thank you 🙏🏽
