11) VEGA were one of several Andalusian and Spanish bands who flourished in the mid- to late seventies by making music that blended flamenco, folk and jazz at times with English progressive tendencies, often resulting in a colorful and rich fusion sound. Acts like TRIANA, CAI, MEZQUITA and AZAHAR would establish themselves as the preeminent players on these scenes, along with the more contemporary counterparts like LOS CANARIOS and ALAMEDA.
12) VEGA was a German hip-hop duo that released the single Ich chille in 1999.
In this vein VEGA combined Andalusian instrumentation (and sometimes traditional arrangements) with a less well-defined progressive bent, emphasizing instead a heavy flamenco influence and the showcased guitar work of band leader Tómas Vega. Vega had been a member of the earlier Spanish band LOS GRIMMS, and would also, along with bandmate Jorge Pardo, lend his name to a couple DOLORES (Pedro Ruy Blas) records in the same timeframe.
The group released three albums in three years, each accompanied by one single. The first two are heavily imbued with flamenco-driven fusion compositions, while the final release 'Sol de Oscuridad' seemed to be more intended as an attempt at commercial success with vocals and repetitive, less original arrangements. The band was already in its death throes by the time the third album released.
VEGA were a minor player in an ample line of Spanish and Andalusian prog bands of the seventies and eighties. While their contributions don't generally rank among the greatest acts of that segment, they are worthy of recognition and inclusion in these ProgAcrhives.

13) VEGA is a three-piece heavy stoner rock band hailing from the 'VEGA' star. They traveled the interstellar star-ways of the multiverse in their dark matter-fueled VEGA-van, intent on spreading their riff to passing planets. Lights years into their journey they happened upon a planet that caught their attention: this planet was unlike any of the other desolate and in some cases, down right primitive planets they had visited since they started their galactic tour. This planet was Earth and they found it akin to their homeland; such as it was cut from the same great cosmic cake as VEGA. It had majestic mountains, vast oceans, extreme deserts, beautiful flowered plains, and industrialized modern cities. All Earth's inhabitants, from intelligent lifeforms to basic single-celled organisms, were identical to VEGA-ns and lived indistinguishable lifestyles and had similar habits to the people of their home-star. Earth even had music: just like VEGA. VEGA decided to stay on this strangely familiar, yet completely foreign sister-planet and lay down their sweet-star riffs as ambassadors to their beloved VEGA.

Vega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Und sie sagen, dass er lebt seit ich back bin
Das erste Label, das echt klingt, was weißt du davon?
Sag was weißt du über schießendes Koka, wenn Siebener losfahren?
Frankfurt, Main Stadt, Wiege Europas
Über scheiß Tage, über meinen Namen
über Gongs im Wert eines kleinen Wagens?
über Leuchtclips, die Cops treffen?
Denn meine Stadt hier ermordet deinen Dreckshaufen
Und deine Stadt schnürt die Torsions zum weglaufen
Dann erzähl mir, was zu weißt über Cobra 6
über Reizgas, kein Spaß wie sowas schmeckt
Was du weißt über Bullen an deiner Tür
über Hass und Tod, Stadtverbot, Jungs, die keiner führt
Was du weißt über Bosc und mich
über Ultrakaos Chabos, wenn ein Klotz dich trifft
Alter, sag was du weißt über die Diva am Main
Was es heißt Freunde von Niemand zu sein
Sag, was weißt du über Jungs in meiner Stadt?
Sauf, Kippen, Rauschgift. Mit uns zu sein ist Macht
Sag, was weißt du über Hadi und mein Biz?
Freunde von Niemand, also laber mich nicht dicht!
Sag, was weißt du über Jungs in meiner Stadt?
Sauf, Kippen, Rauschgift. Mit uns zu sein ist Macht
Sag, was weißt du über Hadi und mein Biz?
Freunde von Niemand, also laber mich nicht dicht!

Mann kann doch nicht sagen das es nur wenige echte Fans gibt, nur weil manche ihn als VRS noch nicht kannten! Ich pumpe Vega auch erst seit "Lieber bleib ich broke" bin ich jetz auch kein echter fan? Ich freu mich über jeden der Vega feiert egal ob erst seit Vincent oder seit VRS, weil dieser Junge es einfach verdient hat gefeiert zu werden! FvN M8 Crew

Vega ist der einzige Rapper in der heutige Zeit ohne den "Fic* deine Mutter Slang" Er ist der einzige der über wahre Gefühle und Erlebnisse rappt. Er ist nicht auf Geld aus er will uns nur seine einzigartige Musik näherbringen! Dafür liebe ich diesen Jungen aus Frankfurt!
ChrisCharisma
Vega hat so ne richtige Gänsehautstimme, die dafür sorgt dass man dem Jungen alles abkaufen würde.
