Since a very young age Saba learned to play a variety of instruments such us guitar, percussion, bass, piano, synthesizers, sitar, tabla and so on, that lead him to compose music in very different styles.

His career as a composer and producer started in 2000 when he released 8 albums, evolving from psychedelic rock to instrumental to electronic music. In 2005 he founded Nirmalam Music, the first instrumental label in Uruguay that goes from ethnic, world to electronic.

A few years ago Saba started to produce electronic music, or as he prefers to call it: Fotonic music. For many years he got rid of computers, controllers, and used only hardware to produce live sets, where all his influences took part resulting in a unique style, creating a powerful sound with a tendency to Tribal Techno, where rhythms and harmonies play an important role.

He played in many underground clubs in Uruguay, Argentina and Germany, and has been an active participant in WMC, sharing backstage with well known artists like Jaytech & James Grant, Above and Beyond and the Stanton Warriors. Nowadays he is settled with his productions and label in Berlin.

As a sideman he has played with musicians such as Jerry Bergonzi, Danilo Perez, Hans Glawischnig, Dan Tepfer, Alex Sipiagin, Miguel Zenon, Wilson de Oliveira, Tony Lakatos, Nene Vazquez, Joe Gallardo, Katja Riemann, Nils Wogram, Leon Gurvitch and Paul Brody. With his Quartett (with Peter Ehwald, Tino Derado and Phil Donkin) he presents in his compositions a new and unusual approach to Latin Jazz. Sometimes he brings his music closer to Pop and Modern Jazz styles rather than sticking to traditional Latin Jazz styles, often concentrating on the original, rich rhythmic aspects of his improvisational approach. Nonetheless, his way of playing is deeply ankered in the traditional music of Latin America.
