Although she was born in Puerto Rico, Vega arrived in New York City in 1959 and a year later had her first radio show, Fiesta Time. From that time and until his last days, he had a constant presence on New York radio and also ventured into music and television.
In addition, in recent years he had a space on weekends in New York’s La Mega, where he played salsa, merengue, bachata and boleros.
