Artists and fans are remembering the legacy of radio giant and music promoter Polito Vega, who was known to generations of listeners and considered instrumental to the rise of salsa and Latin music.
“When you talk about radio history, and the birth of salsa and being a DJ and promoter at same time, that was Polito Vega,” entertainment reporter Jack Rico told NBC News. "He was the most influential tastemaker in the country’s top market dating back to when tropical music first became popular in the city in the 1960s and 1970s and stretching all the way to the 21st century," Cobo wrote.
Online, artists and fans marked his legacy. Latin Grammy-winning band Grupo Niche tweeted in Spanish that Vega put the Latin music sound in the world's capital, referring to New York.
