A leader in global dance and electronic music, Louie Vega has painted an award-winning career from a melodic palette, blended with every genre from house, salsa and afro-beat, to jazz, hip hop, gospel and soul. A master of his craft, when Louie splashes a talented bunch of musicians into that jazz, funk, dance, soul fusion… the result is a magical hearty serving of Louie Vega & The Elements of Life & Friends; a live-band project with Vega leading as musical director and conductor. Over its tenure, The Elements of Life has released three albums, won a Grammy award in 2006 for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical Curtis Mayfield, ‘Superfly (Louie Vega EOL Mix)’, and performed the song ‘One Dream’ Featuring Anané for a globally-televised audience of 145 million viewers during the 2007 Superbowl pre-game show.
