After an inquiry by the U.S. Justice Department, Chiquita pled guilty to funding terrorists in Colombia, but it has not compensated families whose loved ones were murdered by the terrorists it bankrolled. In 2007, we filed a class-action lawsuit accusing Chiquita of financing torture, war crimes, and other human rights abuses. Chiquita made regular monthly payments, totaling more than $1.7 million, to security forces controlled by the United Self-Defense Groups of Colombia, or AUC, a brutal paramilitary organization known for mass killing and designated by the United States Government as a terrorist organization. That designation made supporting the AUC a federal crime.

Plaintiffs

Defendants

Legal Issues

TIMELINE

1997-2004

Chiquita has admitted to paying the AUC during this time period and pled guilty to federal criminal charges for providing material support to the terrorist group.

2007

We filed a federal class-action lawsuit on behalf of affected Colombian families charging Chiquita with funding and arming the AUC in order to maintain its profitable control of Colombia's banana growing regions. The case, originally filed in New Jersey, was subsequently coordinated with several other similar cases against Chiquita in West Palm Beach, Florida.

2008

Chiquita filed a motion to dismiss, which the plaintiffs opposed.

2010

The plaintiffs filed amended complaints; Chiquita submitted an additional motion to dismiss, and the parties submitted additional briefs on the motion.

2011

The district court denied Chiquita's motion to dismiss, finding that claims for extrajudicial killing, torture, crimes against humanity, and war crimes could proceed. Chiquita, however, appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

2012

The plaintiffs sued several individual Chiquita executives involved in the illegal funding scheme, including former CEOs, General Counsels and General Managers.

2014

After over two years of briefing and argument, a divided three-judge panel of the Eleventh Circuit dismissed the federal human rights claims. It dismissed claims under the Torture Victim Protection Act based on the Supreme Court's decision in Mohamed v. Palestinian Authority that TVPA claims cannot proceed against corporations.

Additionally, and despite the fact that Chiquita is a U.S. company that made decisions in the U.S. to finance the paramilitaries, in violation of U.S. criminal law, the Court found, based on a radically restrictive interpretation of the Supreme Court's decision in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum, that the victims' claims under the federal Alien Tort Statute (ATS) lacked sufficient connection to the U.S. to be heard in U.S. courts.

In turn, We and the plaintiffs requested that this decision be reconsidered in front of the full Eleventh Circuit. After that request was denied, we petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of the victims' families, urging the Court to consider the case. The U.S. Supreme Court, however, declined to take the case.

Claims under Colombia law continue in the federal district court in Florida.

2016

The victims cleared another hurdle: Florida federal judge Kenneth Marra rejected Chiquita's argument that the case should be heard in Colombia rather than the United States, allowing this historic case to advance.

2017

The case moved forward with the Court scheduling discovery for 2017 and 2018, and trials set to begin in October of 2019.

The court issued a protective order to keep plaintiffs' identifying information confidential.

Chiquita produced over 2 million pages of documents in connection with the case, and the court rejected Chiquita's attempt at concealing some of the documents' contents. Chiquita argued that the documents were protected by attorney-client privilege; however, the court ruled that because the same documents were produced to the Department of Justice during the criminal investigation, privilege no longer applied.

We filed cases on behalf of additional plaintiffs against individual former Chiquita executives in Ohio and Florida.

A group of plaintiffs, referred to as "bellwether" plaintiffs, was selected to proceed to discovery and possible trials. Discovery opened with respect to these plaintiffs.

2018

Chiquita settled claims in related cases brought by US citizens under the Anti-Terrorism Act. These involved three murders by another armed group in Colombia, the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia), which Chiquita also paid; the cases settled shortly before trial.

Also in related cases, the court declined to dismiss some of the claims against the individual defendants and Chiquita.

Discovery closed for the first group of bellwether plaintiffs in October of 2018.

2019

We moved to certify the case as a class action, but the court denied our motion in May of 2019.

The parties litigated three motions for summary judgment; one by the plaintiffs on the defendants' asserted defense of duress, another by Chiquita on the Colombian law claims, and a third by the individual defendants on claims under the Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA).

The court granted summary judgment to Chiquita and the individual defendants, ruling there was insufficient evidence to show the murders were committed by the AUC. We appealed this decision.

The court rejected Chiquita's efforts to dismiss the claims of bellwether plaintiffs who could not travel to the U.S. for discovery, because they were denied visas to enter the United States. The court ruled Chiquita could depose the plaintiffs in Colombia.

2020

Following the denial of class certification, we filed a new complaint in New Jersey against Chiquita on behalf of individual plaintiffs who would have been members of the class action.
As the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world, much of the discovery in the case was put on hold.

The court issued another scheduling order and ruled that while the summary judgment appeal continued, other bellwether plaintiffs' cases would proceed to summary judgment.

The court granted Chiquita's motion to dismiss the 2020 complaint, ruling that the filing of the original class action did not suspend the statute of limitations on the plaintiffs' claims. We appealed this decision.

In December 2020, an additional set of plaintiffs that would have formed part of the class action filed cases against individual defendants in Florida and Ohio.

2021

We amended the Florida and Ohio complaints filed against the individual defendants in 2017 to include Chiquita as a defendant in the Ohio case, and made other amendments to the Florida and Ohio complaints from 2020.

Discovery for the next set of bellwether plaintiffs remained postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Eleventh Circuit heard oral argument on the summary judgment appeal in October of 2021. Arguments can be heard here.

2022

Chiquita moved to dismiss the four amended complaints filed in 2021. The district court ultimately granted the motion to dismiss in August 2022, but allowed the plaintiffs to amend their complaints. Plaintiffs submitted another set of amended complaints in November 2022.

The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals denied our appeal from the decision dismissing the 2020 case filed in New Jersey, ruling that the filing of the original class action did not suspend the statute of limitations.

The Eleventh Circuit decided the summary judgment appeal, reversing the district court's 2019 decision dismissing our plaintiffs' claims, remanding for the district court's consideration of additional outstanding issues. This cleared the path for the first set of bellwether plaintiffs to go to trial.

In December 2022, the district court issued two summary judgment decisions. It denied summary judgment for the second set of bellwether plaintiffs. It also denied summary judgment for the first set of bellwether plaintiffs after the remand from the Eleventh Circuit, further clearing the path to trial.

2023

The parties began entering discovery again for another set of bellwether plaintiffs. However, since the first sets of bellwether cases were ready for trial, the court agreed to suspend discovery in other cases so the parties could focus on trial, originally set for January 2024.

We filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the question of whether the filing of the original class action suspended the statute of limitations for the original proposed class members. The Supreme Court declined to hear the petition.

The parties began preparing pretrial materials such as witness lists, and exhibit lists, and pretrial motions.

The court dismissed the Torture Victim Protection Act claims against the individual defendants again, ruling that plaintiffs had not shown a direct link between the Colombian government and the AUC murders, which the court ruled was necessary to meet the TVPA's "state action" requirement. We filed another appeal to the Eleventh Circuit.

In December, the court reset the trial date from January 2024 to April 22, 2024.

2024

We are currently preparing for trial set for April 2024.

What is this project about?

We want to open up our collections to different communities in London and make the knowledge we hold in our collections accessible to all. We want to capture the memories, the stories and the experiences of the different communities responding to objects from our collections.

Last year, we explored oral histories related to London's Chilean and Polish communities. This year, our Latin American Community Research group will look at stories of Women's Activism within our collection, while the Central and Eastern European Community Research group will look at stories linked to Modern Migration.

We are offering you the opportunity to research our collection, share your stories with us and contribute your own community interpretation to our collection catalogue.

Get to explore our collection and find out about different powerful stories.

Express your own thoughts and responses on these stories based on your lived experience and community histories.

Provide your own pieces of writing responding to the collection that will become part of the collection's official records.

Shape how these stories are shared and represented in the museum's collections.

What's the time commitment?

One Community Research Skills workshop day on a Sunday in mid-September.

Five Collection Sharing workshops from October to February (every second Sunday of the month). Each session will last 2.5 hours, with snacks and drinks provided. You can join online if you prefer. Travel costs will be reimbursed.

Occasional work to prepare before and after the session may be required (no more than two hours per session).

Training and support to conduct research in our collection and your own family and community legacies.

Staying connected to the museum for any additional volunteer opportunities during and after the project.

Taking part in museum display and exhibition tours.

The opportunity to take part in a community research skills workshop.

I can't make out what you are" "Are you really Latina?' "But your hair" "You're the first Latina I've ever met" if I got paid every time someone made one of those comments about me, I'd be rich rich. Growing up in an area in London where there were not many Latinos, I'd hear and still hear, these comments often. Even though there were other Latinos, my siblings and I were the only ones that didn't look the stereotypical way Latinos were always described as. In all the schools I've been too, I've always been the only Latina in my year group and in one school, the only Latina in the whole school.

Half of me feels privileged because hopefully, I made a good impression on them about Latinos in general (even though carrying the whole ethnicity on my back is kinda a big thing). However, growing up as people questioned my ethnicity, I also questioned it. Being Latina is one thing, but being a brown skin Latina with thick curly hair? Did that make me Afro-Latina?

As we all know, older generations never really embraced their Afro Latinidad. Unfortunately, this included some of my family like some grandparents and probably many generations before that. This was then passed down to me and my siblings, which is why growing up I always wondered what I actually was, I never felt enough for either. We're Latino. Point, blank, period. This is correct for all types of Latinos, but we should embrace our roots, as they made us who we are today.

As I got older, I began embracing the fact that I am of African ancestry, it is part of my story too. However, growing up here in the UK didn't make that any easier as many don't understand the term Afro-Latina. They think because the African part isn't our culture, that we're not part of it. But it is and that's what many don't understand. Latin America was so heavily influenced by African culture because they became and are part of Latin America. There are no two ways about it. It's part of the cultura. It's like me saying I'm notLatina because I live in another country, or that when I have kids, they shouldn't embrace their Latin Heritage because they're second generation. Just because our African roots have been passed down, doesn't mean we cannot embrace it. You don't need to show someone a DNA test to prove who you are.

I'm gonna keep embracing my Afro Latinidad, keep representing Latinas in the UK because we are here, making moves and taking up space. YES, we also exist in the UK. Never let someone question who you are. Embrace those curls, embrace the beauty of your skin, and most importantly, sis! embrace the roots. You are enough.

All of this is what I wanted to convey with my brand Poderosa London. It is a platform to empower, celebrate powerful women, and allow people to embrace either their culture or who they are wherever they go. I am such a strong believer in telling your story as you never know you may inspire by doing so. I also have T-shirts available as they are such a statement piece for many women, so I thought it was the perfect everyday way to do so.

My name is Ashley Farias, I was born in Ecuador but was raised in London, England. I am a recent Criminology graduate and I am so passionate about helping young people achieve the impossible, especially in disadvantaged areas; which is what I hope my future career entails. However, in my spare time, I run Poderosa London, a women empowerment brand that celebrates powerful women and provides apparel to allow them to embrace their identity daily.

For this fifth online edition of Walk It Talk It, the SLG's monthly heritage tour, we follow a route that looks at past and present significant spots for the Latin American community in Lambeth and Southwark.

South London has been a hub for the Latin American community since the first major groups of political refugees arrived from Chile in the 1970s, and later Colombia, Bolivia, Brazil and Argentina in the following decades. The current Latin population in the UK stands at over 200,000. In 2020, the presence of young British-born Latinos is also growing. Yet the community remains significantly unrepresented and invisible from mainstream British society.

This edition of Walk It Talk It is presented by Alexandra Azúa who is half Chilean-British, working in the non-profit sector within and outside of the Latin American community. The illustrations are by Ella Kasperowicz.

El sur de Londres ha sido un centro para la comunidad latinoamericana desde que llegaron los primeros grandes grupos de refugiados políticos de Chile en la década de 1970, y más tarde de Colombia, Bolivia, Brasil y Argentina en las décadas siguientes. La población latina actual en el

Reino Unido es de más de 200,000 personas. Actualmente, la presencia de jóvenes latinos nacidos en Gran Bretaña también ha crecido. Sin embargo, la comunidad permanece significativamente no representada e invisible para la sociedad británica convencional.

En este recorrido, seguiremos una ruta con lugares que son significativos en el presente como en el pasado para la comunidad latinoamericana en Lambeth y Southwark.

Alexandra Azúa es anglo-chilena, y trabaja en el sector sin fines de lucro dentro de la comunidad latinoamericana como también fuera de ella.

Offering a window into the experience of Chinese migration to Cuba, Havana Divas 古巴花旦 follows two Cantonese opera singers who perform for decades in Cuba before, and during, Fidel Castro's revolution.

The story focuses on Caridad and Georgina, who had learned the art of Cantonese Opera in Havana at a young age and performed as divas for over a decade before their lives were changed by Fidel Castro's revolution. A unique look into the Chinese diaspora in North and Latin America and its connection to Hong Kong and Canton. The 2023 version includes their performance on Hong Kong stage at the advanced age of 88 and 90.

Havana Divas 古巴花旦 offers a window into over 170 years of Chinese migration to Cuba. Through contemporary interviews, archival photographs, and footage, director S. Louisa Wei delves into the evolving culture of Cantonese opera within a specific historical context. The film reveals the female spirit of the two stage sisters, capturing the spirit of female performers and making a significant contribution to the expanding collection of films documenting women artists within the Chinese Diaspora.

This screening is part of Whose Homeland 2023, a series of film screenings and special events held by Sine Screen that continuously explore ESEA diasporic identity, migration, and hidden histories. The program will be presented from September to November 2023 in response to the ESEA Heritage Month program at various venues around London.

Sine Screen is an emerging screening organisation dedicated to showcasing independent cinema, art films and documentaries from East and Southeast Asia, particularly the sinosphere. Aiming to subvert the dominant gaze, challenge the representation of East and Southeast Asia as well as opening discussions through curating diverse programmes of films by and about ESEA people.

Programme supported by Film Hub London, managed by Film London. Proud to be a partner of the BFI Film Audience Network, funded by the National Lottery. www.filmlondon.org.uk/filmhub

Please note: we do not show adverts. There will be 10 mins or so of trailers before the main feature.

Esta página contiene información sobre cómo mantenerse a salvo de la explotación y qué organizaciones contactar si necesita ayuda y/o asistencia.

Menú

Introducción

En este momento muchas personas de Latinoamérica se están mudando a Polonia después de recibir una oferta de empleo. A raíz de esto, hemos estado recibiendo diferentes informes los cuales indican que a su llegada a Polonia, los puestos de trabajo, no son lo que prometieron y muchos señalan experiencias de explotación laboral, las cuales incluyen:

deducciones en el salario (debido a los costos de viaje, alojamiento, documentos, o otro)

malas condiciones de vivienda

retención del salario

trabajar demasiadas horas sin descansos

amenazas o intimidación

Si has sufrido alguna de estas situaciones, es probable que te encuentres en una situación de explotación laboral y eso no lo debes permitir.

Prometen dar una visa de trabajo, pero a los 90 días despiden a los trabajadores sin visado.

Nota importante: Tenga en cuenta que los permisos de trabajo NO regularizan su estatus en Polonia, NO te dan estatus de residencia y NO son lo mismo que visas de trabajo.

Encontrarás más información a continuación, en "Tus derechos una vez contratado".

Si te mudaste a Polonia por un trabajo y no es lo que te habían prometido, puedes pedir ayuda. Si necesita ayuda sobre cuestiones jurídicas y de inmigración no relacionadas con la trata de personas, póngase en contacto con La Asociación de Intervención Legal.

Cómo mantenerse seguro

A continuación, se mencionan 4 cosas que debe hacer para mantenerse seguro:

Ten en cuenta que esta lista no está completa. Puedes sufrir explotación en cualquier sector laboral y recibir ayuda.

Algunos anuncios de empleo publicados podrían no ser legítimos. Debe sospechar de cualquier proceso de reclutamiento que tenga alguna de las siguientes características:

Pulse aquí para ver la alerta de la embajada Colombiana sobre la entrega de documentos fraudulentos por agencias reclutadoras.

Puede denunciar anuncios sospechosos de empleo en la APLICACIÓN STOP.

Tu empleador está obligado a entregarte un contrato por escrito antes del inicio del trabajo. Esto también se aplica a los contratos de derecho civil (como un contrato para una tarea específica, un contrato de ayuda a la cosecha).
El contrato no debe ser totalmente favorable al empresario ni hacerte renunciar a tus derechos laborales.
El contrato debe incluir:

Datos del trabajador y del empleador, de la empresa en la que trabajaras y de la agencia laboral

Tipo de contrato (por ejemplo, contrato a termino definido)

Fecha de ejecución del contrato

Condiciones de trabajo, como tipo de actividades laborales, lugar y horario de trabajo, salario, fecha de inicio y fecha de finalización si aplica.

No debe pasar por ninguna de las siguientes situaciones en el trabajo:

Que te retengan el salario o te paguen menos de lo acordado.

Vivir en un alojamiento incómodo y antihigiénico proporcionado por el empleador.

Que te nieguen pausas, descansos o vacaciones.

Que te descuenten el salario para pagar una deuda de contratación (nadie tiene derecho a obligar a nadie a trabajar para él, aunque le deban dinero).

Acceso restringido o nulo a tu salario

Ser objeto de intimidación, amenazas y/o abuso físico o emocional

Horarios de trabajo excesivos

No tener acceso a tu pasaporte o documentos de identidad

Restricción de movimientos

Haz clic aquí para obtener información más detallada sobre tus derechos laborales, como saber si tu permiso de trabajo y contrato de trabajo son válidos de la Embajada de México en Polonia (Español), y haga clic aquí para obtener consejos similares de la Embajada de Colombia (Español).
Si ha sufrido alguna de estas situaciones, sepa que no debe tolerarse y que hay organizaciones que pueden ayudarle.
Puede denunciar estos incidentes en la APLICACIÓN STOP. De ser posible, documente todos los incumplimientos en el trabajo en forma de materiales de foto/video. Si una persona se encuentra en peligro inmediato, o si se está cometiendo o se ha cometido un delito, llame a los servicios de emergencia.
Asegúrese de tomar nota de lo sucedido, e incluya detalles de lo siguiente:

Información de las organizaciones de asistencia

¿Usted o alguien que conoce han sido víctimas de un tratamiento indebido o explotación? En caso afirmativo, comuníquese con estas organizaciones para obtener ayuda y asesoramiento gratuito y confidencial.

Tenga en cuenta que estas organizaciones NO pueden ofrecer empleo.
Mencione a STOP THE TRAFFIK si se comunica con alguna de las organizaciones que se mencionan a continuación.
Puede comunicarse con la embajada de su país en Polonia, que podrá ofrecer asesoría. Sin embargo, es muy importante comunicarse con la embajada solo si cree que es seguro hacerlo.

Puede encontrar información de las embajadas y consulados en Varsovia aquí.

Puede encontrar información de los consulados en Cracovia aquí.

Información sobre la trata de personas

Haga clic en los temas a continuación para obtener más información.

La trata de personas es el movimiento o reclutamiento de personas, mediante el engaño, la coerción o la fuerza con el propósito de explotación. Los traficantes con frecuencia obtienen un beneficio financiero con la explotación de personas.

Los traficantes de órganos en ocasiones extraen órganos por la fuerza sin consentimiento o mediante coerción. Esto es ilegal y peligroso. Podría costarle la vida.

APLICACIÓN STOP

La APLICACIÓN STOP permite que cualquier persona que conozca, que haya visto o incluso haya escuchado sobre una situación que crea que constituye tráfico humano, hable al respecto en un espacio seguro. Puede denunciar el incidente de forma anónima y segura a través de la APLICACIÓN STOP. No quedará un registro de la denuncia presentada en su teléfono.

¿Ha visto un anuncio sospechoso de empleo en línea?

¿Alguien le ha ofrecido un empleo que parece sospechoso?

¿Usted o alguien que conoce han sido obligados a trabajar o han sido explotados?

Infórmenos. Puede denunciar sus sospechas u observaciones descargando nuestra APLICACIÓN STOP.  Asegúrese de estar en un lugar seguro y alejado del incidente sospechoso cuando envíe la denuncia.

STOP THE TRAFFIK es una organización para la prevención de trata de personas. Esta aplicación reúne historias de personas que han sido víctimas de tráfico de humanos o trata de personas con el fin de centralizar la información y así poder interferir y prevenir este delito. Tenga en cuenta que NO SOMOS UNA ORGANIZACIÓN DE RESCATE y esta aplicación no se supervisa las 24 horas del día, los siete días de la semana. Únicamente se revisa el siguiente día hábil.  Si una persona se encuentra en peligro inmediato o si se ha cometido un delito, comuníquese con autoridades de confianza.

“Food is a gift. Something you give to others. A privilege. An excuse to be with the ones you love.”

Back home, the mouth-watering flavours and aromas of traditional Peruvian cooking was forbidden in Pepa’s home. Except when Grandma would sneak in a steak and some spices. In England, Pepa found herself on a journey, a journey inside herself, to discover that food could be shared with a new family around a new table. And you are invited to taste it.

Join Pepa Duarte (A Fight Against, Royal Court) for a full sensory experience exploring womanhood, body image and tradition in her debut play directed by Sergio Maggiolo (The Dark Stone, Cervantes Theatre).

★★★★ “A well-crafted piece of theatrical storytelling. Nourishing, and created with a great deal of heart and soul.” – The Spy In The Stalls

★★★★ “Overall this production was captivating, marvellous, enjoyable and unique. Duarte’s physicality throughout the performance is breathtaking and her comedic timing Is impeccable”- Theatre and Other Things LDN

★★★★ “Duarte’s writing is balanced and truthful. Pepa is charismatic and effortlessly engaging. Her warm and welcoming stage presence is unlike others I have witness before. – The North West UK

Earlier this year we received intelligence of a trafficking route between LATAM countries (including Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Brazil) to Poland. The evidence has been strengthened by our 285 pre-campaign survey respondents, who have given us insights into their experiences working in Poland.
By way of a response, since March, we have been running a prevention campaign targeting Latin American individuals working in Poland with safety information regarding what exploitation looks like, how to adopt preventative measures to keep themselves safe, and details for support organisations in Poland.
Our impact so far
During the last eight weeks, over 60,000 Spanish and Portuguese speakers in Poland have seen our ads. We have also sent direct messages to over 90 individuals who responded to our campaign via comment or message, many of whom we signposted to support organisations in Poland.

Furthermore, the ads have also been shared in Latin Americans in Poland groups, and by our signposting organisations.
The current situation
What we are seeing in Poland is that individuals are being recruited via job adverts on WhatsApp, social media, and agency websites, which is leading to labour exploitation.

This includes deductions from salaries to account for a perceived debt for costs incurred by the recruitment, poor living conditions in accommodation provided by the employer, working excessive hours with no overtime pay, and threats and intimidation. Meat factories appear to be one of the areas where exploitation is most prevalent.

The engagement from our target audience on our ads has generated a great deal of intelligence on trafficking networks operating on this route. This includes alleged exploitative recruitment agencies, recruitment and control methods, transport routes, and payment methods. We have shared this intelligence with our extensive network.
Next steps
Over the coming weeks, we will continue offering safeguarding support to those who reach out to us. Additionally, we will be launching a post-campaign survey to evaluate the effectiveness of the campaign and drafting a final report that will be published and shared soon.

What can be said about Louie Vega that has not been said before? Standing astride the industry with a talent that sits out of reach of mere mortals, he is, for me, one of those people who are more than just instrumental in developing House Music; he has taken it to new levels. He has achieved international success on the mainstream charts and is a Grammy Award winner; a feat that few have achieved in House Music.

He is a leader. An icon. A visionary. Drawing on his influences from House, Salsa and Afro-beat, to Jazz, Hip Hop, Gospel and Soul, his music transforms the listening and dancing experience into a spiritual journey. Everything he touches is caressed with a unique ability to lift up the soul in a timeless embrace.

Born in the Bronx into a musically gifted family, there was never any doubt that he was blessed with an abundance of talent from an early age. His father is a jazz saxophonist and his uncle is Salsa King Héctor Lavoe. This Latin influence is ingrained in his music. Fused with the vibrant sounds that swirled around his childhood neighbourhood, he has evolved into a multi-dimensional giant in the dance world (belying the moniker 'Little').

Playing at the biggest NYC clubs from 1985 onwards, Louie held court and developed a scene that came to typify what House Music would become. By 1991 he had achieved commercial success in a very real sense with Marc Anthony and 'Ride On The Rhythm'. He began to stretch the boundaries of his music and began an unabated journey into a world of sun kissed beats and eternal, soulful rewards. He would soon form his production team Masters At Work with Brooklyn-based Kenny 'Dope' Gonzalez which has been one of the most enduring partnerships in House Music history.

Referenced by Norman Jay MBE as an American DJ that took the roof off at 'High On Hope' in the UK during his first visit in 1989, he was truly responsible for opening audiences eyes and ears to a realm of new possibilities.

His label Vega Records is also another success story which exemplifies his desire to work and work hard. Featuring a roster that includes Anané Vega, Luisito Quintero, Elements Of Life and E.O.L. Soulfrito (his live bands), Mr. V, Boddhi Satva, Hugh Masekela, Roberto Roena, Lisa Fischer, and Cindy Mizelle, Vega Records has released over 200 singles and 11 Full Length CD / Albums. In addition, Louie has released over 30 compilations (with over 2 million copies sold) on the industry's most revered imprints, including Ministry of Sound Recordings, Defected Records, King Street, Azuli, Division (Italy), BBE, Concept, R2, and Strictly Rhythm records.

He has so many fingers in so many pies. He is a man consumed with the energy of life; radio, production, songwriter, performance DJ, streaming; he is the quintessential multimedia superstar but blessed with a humility that underpins everything he does. From his work as a goodwill ambassador for the Cristian Rivera Foundation to various charitable fundraisers, Louie always pays it forward. Breaking down musical barriers and bringing people together through a love of music has always been his aim and after 35 years in the industry he is showing no sign of slowing down. His contributions continue to positively influence global dance music.

He is so busy that we had to pinch ourselves when he agreed to this interview. We are eternally grateful that he decided to join the Switched On family. So without further ado we give you the maestro. One of the Kings Of House. The irrepressible Louie Vega.

So Louie, you grew up in the Bronx. We have had some very vivid descriptions of people growing up in NYC but you are the first we have interviewed from The Bronx. What was your neighbourhood like growing up and the musical tapestry that it was infused with?

The Bronx. My Birthplace, I remember playing with my friends on our street Stratford Avenue. Skelsys, Stickball, Softball at the schoolyard, roller skating on the street and eventually at roller discos. There were block parties right down the street with DJs playing disco, funk, soul, rock and jazz breaks, and hustle contests; my sister joining in of course. Once she came in second place and I remember her dancing hustle style with her friend to 'It's Good For The Soul' by Salsoul Orchestra.

In the Projects (Buildings), just a block away, were Jazzy Jay, Afrika Bambaataa, Red Alert, Afrika Islam; all DJing hot music with the break-dancers rocking the floor on cardboard to songs like 'Bra' by Cymande, 'Just Begun' by Jimmy Castor, 'The Mexican' by Babe Ruth, 'Woman' by Barrabas and 'Melting Pot' by Booker T and the MGs, to name a few. Out of my Mom's living room window you heard the music blaring with Fania Records playing e.g. Willie Colon and Hector Lavoe, Ray Barretto, and the Fania All Stars; all with my dad playing his Tenor Sax simultaneously.

From out of my next-door neighbour's window you'd hear disco music. We were all on the first floor so out on the street you'd hear it. My sisters had a hookie party once at my Mom's apartment. They were playing 'Touch and Go' by Ecstasy, Passion and Pain and all doing the Bus Stop. Then later on they played the funky slow jams and slow dancing. I remember my sisters asking me (I must have been 6 or 7 years old) to show their friends a move called the '500' (don't ask lol). I was like the entertainment lol. My Mom came home and they got the word and everyone jumped out of our first-floor apartment window. It was only about 7 feet high.

I remember my uncle Hector Lavoe coming to our home to see his older sister Priscilla (My Mom) and bringing over 7-inch test pressings of his new releases for her to hear in the middle of the night. I'd say around 2am! Wow, so many memories!!!

Obviously your Puerto Rican heritage runs strong within you. What do you think that has given you that contributes to your success today?

(Correct) My Puerto Rican heritage runs strong within me. Firstly, the roots of our rhythms, Bomba Y Plena, Rumba, Guaganco, and Afrocuban sounds which come from African Rhythms, runs through our veins. We all grew up together in our neighbourhoods; Latinos, Afro-Americans, and Jewish people, so it's always been a melting pot.

Soul, Jazz, RandB, was in all pop music, and pop music was soooo funky. Whether a rock, jazz, folk, latin, soul, or RandB band, they were all funky and so creative. The music was out of this world, that's why it's still with us today and I still play it! I look at some old posters of shows in NYC and I'm still in awe. Here's one example, I saw a poster for a show back in the 70s that had Earth Wind and Fire, Mandrill, War, and Stevie Wonder all in the same show!! Imagine a show like that! Yes that happened!!! That's our roots and it all contributes to who I am today.

You started DJing at a club called The Devil's Nest as House Music began to emerge from Chicago. How quickly did you adapt to that sound and what was your initial response to it?

I've always played House Music from the very beginning. So when I started at The Devil's Nest in 1985, I was already playing early Trax Records, Marshal Jefferson, Virgo, Mr. Fingers / Larry Heard, DJ International and the Farley Jackmaster Funk early beat tracks on the orange label (can't remember the label). I was also playing dance music from NY Labels with releases from Prelude 'The Music's Got Me', 'Somehow Someway', early Timmy Regisford and Boyd Jarvis productions; Winston Jones, Paul Simpson, Yvonne Turner, DJ 45 King, Larry Levan, the Peech Boys and more.

I was also part of a musical movement called Freestyle / Latin Hip Hop, and that started at the Devil's Nest. My initial response to House Music? I loved it from the start! It was a sound that just took over the sets eventually. But in those days, I also played Latin, Hip Hop, Freestyle, Disco, Boogie, Dance orientated Rock, and Nu Wave. It was all about good music.

In Chicago House Music was initially a very Afro-American affair but in NYC it resonated with the Latino community too. Why do you think it appealed to that community in particular?

(Correct) It was both the Afro-American and Latino community in NYC who loved house music. We felt the rhythms. It was dancers' music and we come from a strong dance culture in NYC. The sound was powerful. Those 909 drums were a new sound with House Music. At first it was created with some borrowed basslines from disco classics, and other original grooves and basslines. Tracks such as 'On The House' by Pleasure Control, 'R U Hot Enough' by Virgo, 'Move Your Body' by Marshall Jefferson, 'Can You Feel It' by Mr. Fingers, 'Your Love' by Frankie Knuckles and Jamie Principle. Some were instrumentals and others full-on songs. There was even poetry spoken on top of tribal house sounds (e.g. Jungle Wonz). House Music had a drive and pocket that was like no other. It took NYC by storm. We all played it and it hit everyone emotionally. We couldn't get enough of it!

What is important about the Sound Factory Bar and the Underground Network Parties hosted by yourself, Barbara Tucker and Don Welch?

That was a special time at the Underground Network Parties. This was another unique movement in NYC. Let me tell you a story and lead into the UN Parties.

In 1990 I got together with Kenny Dope and we formed our production team Masters At Work. As I said, I played freestyle music along with house, disco, hip hop and reggae from 1985 - 1990 at top clubs in NYC. I played at the Devil's Nest in 1985, then 1986-1988 I played at Hearthrob (which was formerly The Funhouse where Jellybean played). 1989 - 1990 I played at Studio 54 and I also did guest spots at 1018, Roseland, Lamour East, Pay Day, Mars, Palladium and more.

By 1991, Kenny Dope and I had started remixing and producing lots of music for Masters At Work, so there was a lot of music on the horizon which would eventually be released worldwide. In Late 1990 I stopped playing residencies at NYC clubs and took 1.5 years off of DJing. I came back to it in 1992. By that time Masters At Work music was cooking all over.

Don Welch who I knew from years back in 1984 when I worked at the IDRC record pool (he was a DJ in the pool too), asked me if I would play a party for him at a club on 23rd Street called Elite / Savage. He was a promoter along with his business partner Barbara Tucker. The timing was perfect because I had all this music that was hot. I played about 3 of his parties within a few months.

Don Welch and Barbara Tucker had the vision. They asked me 'if we were to get a weekly club night would you be the resident DJ?' I said yes, if we had the right venue. He reached out to me and said if I would come see this club on 21st Street called the Sound Factory Bar. It just so happened that Frankie Knuckles was already playing there for close to a year on Fridays. Don and Barbara had the opportunity to do Wednesdays.

When we went to see the club on a Friday night with Frankie, I was blown away hearing him work that Steve Dash sound system. It was perfect for the Underground Network party hosted by Don and Barbara and I (agreed) to be the resident DJ every Wednesday night. The concept was unique because it was based on the music industry, dancers and fans of the music. On any given Wednesday you would see singers, DJs, producers, musicians, even Broadway dancers; artists from all genres of music and entertainment having a good time to our music.

This night really created a movement for House Music in the 90s. Besides all the Masters At Work sounds being played, you also had Todd Terry, David Morales, Timmy Regisford, Armand Van Heldon, Harry Romero, Eric Morillo, Lil Louis, Francois K, Joe Claussell, Danny Krivit, Tony Humphries, Roger S, Frankie Knuckles, Kenny Carpenter, Merlin Bobb, Kerri Chandler, DJ Camacho, Kim Lightfoot, Smack Productions and Jovann; all frequenting the club and getting their sounds played as well. Many of the DJs I mentioned were also our guests on some nights. So this night was critical to the 90s house sound that came from NYC and NJ. It lasted 'til 1997 right when Kenny Dope and I finished up Nuyorican Soul.

Besides XXVIII, Nuyorican Soul is actually one of my favourite albums of all time. What does that album mean to you looking back on it and can we have another one...? Please 😊

Nuyorican Soul means a lot to me. It's the album that was very pivotal in our lives, careers, and represented what it was like growing up in New York City. We are Native New Yorkers and to be able to tell this musical story to the world with such a high calibre of talent was a dream come true. To create a timeless piece is very special and we hold this project close to our hearts as one that embellishes some of the musical landscape of Masters At Work. We hope there will be another one. We will see, you never know!!!

David Morales recently praised your work ethic in our interview with him. What inspires you to keep producing music after all these years?

David Morales is my brother of many years. We've been friends since the mid-80s and before that I used to go hear him and take DJ notes at Inferno, Lovelight, Better Days, lol. His work has inspired me for years as a DJ and producer, and still does today. I can be inspired by so many things; everyday life. It can be my wife and my son that inspire me, a night out checking out a musician or singer, travels around the world, a night playing at a club or event, or even just listening to a track or song, a dream with sounds or even an idea out of the blue can pop into my head. I have a passion for DJing and producing music. My work ethic is intense. It's something that's been with me since a very young age.

Do you remember your first visit to the UK? How did the British audience differ from NYC?

My first visit to the UK was special. It was 1989. I was managed by Patrick Moxey (now CEO of Ultra Records). He brought me out to London. I was staying in Camden Town where his Mom lives. We actually stayed at his Mom's house and we went to the gigs from there. My favourite thing was eating the famous English breakfast down the block from his Mom's. It was where all the drivers and workers ate in the morning. I'll never forget those breakfasts.

When we went out in London I was in shock when I saw so many Caucasian people into soul music. Patrick took me all around town to meet DJs and check out the scene before my gigs. I remember meeting Pete Tong for the first time at the Hippodrome Club. When I walked in, he was playing 'Dancing In Outer Space' by Atmosphere. I was blown away by this because that's a straight-up NYC record for the dancers. The Club was packed and there were many people dancing to such a funky track. Usually it was Afro American and Latinos dancing to this track in NYC; it was underground. I later realized the group Atmosphere came from the UK!

I stayed in the UK for about two weeks. In those two weeks I played at the early raves ; Sunrise and Energy, I also played at 'High On Hope' for Norman Jay (his party). I met so many amazing people and I was in a whole new world. There was dance culture in the UK with a movement of all kinds of soul music; from uptempo to downtempo, and especially House Music. I even did a remix while there. Let's see if you can find it. (ENTER THE COMPETITION ON OUR MAIN PAGE)

When it came time to play at the raves Sunrise and Energy, that was a trip. First, we waited to be picked up and it wasn't until 3am that Patrick received a call that the driver was on his way. We didn't even think it would be happening. Luckily I was on NY time lol so I was not sleepy. We drove for hours and hours into farmland country arriving at 5am. When we got there, we had to park and walk through mud with record crates (Patrick, the driver and I). Then we arrived at a large hangar in the middle of a field. When we got to the doors they were opened by the security and there were over 10,000 people going mad to House Music. That was my introduction to the UK. I was on the same line-up as Paul Trouble Anderson, Paul Oakenfold, Carl Cox, Bobby and Steve, and so many other amazing UK DJs.

We cannot talk about you without talking about your wife Anané. Separating the relationship from the artist, you must be very proud of her journey from humble beginnings. What do you think she brings to the House scene as an artist?

I'm so proud of Anané. She has contributed lots to the House scene as an artist, as a DJ, as a label owner and A&R of her projects and more. She empowers so many women worldwide and is a huge role model. Her hard work whether in the studio, at a live show performing / singing or DJing, daily works with her labels Nulu and Nulu Electronic, shows the many contributions she's given to the culture. Bringing in her Cape Verdian sound to House Music was a new sound that she introduced me to. She incorporates it in some of her work e.g. 'Bem Ma Mi' and 'Terra Longe' to name a few. She's an incredible Mom to a 20-year-old young man and when you see him, you see her! She's my partner in life and I'm very lucky and blessed to have met Anané. She changed my life, all goodness!!!

You monster an isolator and a rotary mixer. What makes those pieces of equipment so special to you?

The isolator is an instrument. If you really listen while one of us (Djs who use it) are working it, you can feel words of songs coming at you, rhythms with dynamics while twisting the knobs; you tell a story with it. The Rotary Mixer has a touch that is very different to faders. You can feel that next song coming and the two songs become one at a point then the incoming track becomes the dominant one and the transition comes to fruition. It really hits human emotions that I can't explain. I learned how to use it by watching the maestros work the knobs and isolators (or in those days crossovers). Larry Levan, Tony Humphries, Bruce Forest, Jellybean, Kenny Carpenter, and David Morales. They were the ones I went to hear at clubs when I was a teenager.

How does a DJ go from mediocre to outstanding? What weapons do they need?

When a DJ goes to outstanding, he really connects with the audience. Your weapons are your ears, your heart, your hands. The ability to be ambidextrous. You are using most of your senses when DJing and doing two and three things at the same time. It's being able to read a crowd and knowing how to get them dancing, feeling good, closing their eyes and falling into that deep musical journey. When you can make a person explode with emotion, sing, smile, cry, get the goose bumps. That's when you got it!!

What have you got in the musical pipeline?

A new album coming out in early 2021 entitled 'Expansions In The NYC' on Nervous Records. It's an album inspired by my NYC nights at my last residency called 'Expansions NYC' where we brought together a cross section of generations; all of whom shared an appreciation and passion for music, culture and art. Those jam sessions brought out ideas for me to go in and create another musical trip in the studio. I am bringing together unique collaborations with Unlimited Touch, Bernard Fowler (formerly of the Peech Boys), Robyn, Moodymann, Anané, Josh Milan, The Martinez Brothers, Honey Dijon, Kerri Chandler, Joe Claussell, Janine Sugah Lyons, Axel Tosca, Lisa Fischer, Karen Harding, Bebe Winans, Rick Wilhite, and my son Nico Vega (who is now in the studio producing his music).

We are revamping our label MAW Records and putting out unreleased tracks and new music this year. We have some MAW remixes in the pipeline too; Dua Lipa 'Pretty Please', Dj Krust 'AntiGravity (Crosstown Rebels) and Joseph Capriati 'Love Changes Me'.

I have been working with The Martinez Brothers with new music in the works. We've recorded over 20 tracks in a few sessions and have the single out 'Let It Go', with our new dubs and remixes coming out by Kaytranada and Honey Dijon. Of course, Louie Vega Presents Unlimited Touch 'I Hear Music In The Streets' just came out on August 28, 2020 which is a single off the forthcoming album. 'Chapters Of Becoming... Anané'; an album executively produced by Louie Vega and Anané Vega. I am also going back to my roots with a collaboration with the King of Freestyle George Lamond on a classic Barrabas cover called 'Woman'. Plus I am working on remixes for Honey Dijon, Conclave (the band), Isolee (on Classic Records), and Dj Bobbito ("Que Bonita Bandera Remix").

The list is endless. Remember he said his work ethic is insane!!! And with that, its back in the studio to pursue his passion and deliver on the musical promise that has surrounded him from the very day he started. Thank you Louie 😊

Thank you for this interview, wonderful questions!!!
