Alberto Vasallo:
A proud native of Habana, Cuba, who fled Cuba in 1965 at the age of 24 years old, Alberto Vasallo, Jr. is considered one of New England's most recognized and respected pioneers in the Latino community. A true trailblazer in many fields, Vasallo is most readily renowned as an industry leader in the Latino media and entertainment worlds. As founder and publisher of El Mundo Newspaper, the area's oldest and most established Latino publication, Vasallo also has had an extensive and accomplished career in Spanish-language radio and as a large-scale entertainment promoter. For nearly 30 years (from 1972-2001) he headed Radiolandia programming which ushered into the Boston market not only the tropical radio format in Spanish but also the talk-radio, open-mike format with the morning drive time show "La Hora del Café." He also served as a correspondent for the Voice of America in the ‘70s. He has been a contributing member of many Latino non-profits including La Alianza Hispana, IBA, and Concilio Hispano. He currently serves as Vice President of The Cuban Cultural Center Board of Directors, after being President from 2009 to 2020. Vasallo's business career spanning over 4 decades in Boston has forged an indelible legacy in the Latino small business community as entrepreneurs with a vision well ahead of their time. His accomplishments have been recognized locally and nationally as his name and lifework have become synonymous with the city of Boston. To name just a few of his 117 accolades, in 2015, he was a recipient of the Trailblazer Award from the Boston Business Journal Leaders in Diversity Awards. Also, the City of Cambridge honored him by naming a square in his name. One of the most distinguished and cherished awards bestowed on Mr. Vasallo has been the national Outstanding Americans by Choice award. He holds an Honorary Degree in Humanities from Cambridge College. He officially retired in 2012 but continues to be an active community member, making a difference and providing support to preserve the history and cultural roots of the Cuban people.
