Carlos Vega

Carlos Vega () var ein cubansk trommeslagar, basert i Los Angeles, mest kjend for arbeidet sitt med James Taylor. Som ein del av studiomiljøet i Los Angeles frå slutten av 1970-åra til inn i 1990-åra, bidrog Vega på mange innspelingar. 

Vega spelte i det første bandet sitt, Karizma, i 1975 med Michael Landau, David Garfield, Lenny Castro og Jimmy Johnson.

Vega spelte med James Taylor i 13 år og på det bestseljande Olivia Newton-John-albumet Physical.
