History and musical career
I was born in Buenos Aires and have been living in Spain for over 15 years. I have been connected to the performing arts since I was a child, and my first approach to music was through the piano. Over time, I discovered the saxophone, which became my natural instrument.
I trained with renowned teachers such as Leonardo Guillén and Víctor Scorupsky, and since then I have explored genres such as rock, blues and funk, although it is jazz and bossa nova that best define me as a performer.
Alejandro Pugliano is a versatile musician full of sensitivity and elegance, precise and emotional, who manages to convey the special character that each song requires.

I was also a member of Los Pepas (rock and blues) and Pares Idos, combining rehearsals and recordings with musicians like Adrian Melli (trumpet), and experimenting with jazz and bossa nova.

In 2002 I moved to Spain, where I continued my musical training and began working with orchestras such as Orquesta Classic and Orquesta Jamaica. At the same time, I participated in jazz and fusion projects in Alicante: I was a member of the quintet 5 Gatos Jazz Band, and I collaborated with musicians such as Simone Torriano (pianist), Pablo Fojo (double bass), Nelson de León (drums), Eo Simón (pianist and composer), Lucas Bramucci (guitarist), and Mateo Quesseno (guitarist).

Live saxophonist in Ibiza: Alejandro Pugliano and the fusion of saxophone with electronic music and bossa nova
In 2013, I had the opportunity to attend a master class given by the renowned saxophonist Perico Sambeat, an experience that marked a turning point in my artistic development. That same summer, I decided to move to Ibiza to pursue new musical projects.
There, I was part of the B&P project, alongside musicians Nando Pemán and Billy Korg, where we fused saxophone, guitar, and electronic beats live, creating an innovative and very well-received sound. At the same time, I formed a bossa nova duo with Brazilian guitarist Eduardo Egito, opting for a more intimate and melodic format.
With both bands, we performed in some of the island’s most iconic venues, such as Sunset Ashram in Cala Conta, Racó Verd, Atzaró, and Las Dalias, in addition to participating in numerous private events. It was a very intense and enriching creative period that broadened my musical horizons.

Musical Innovation: 3D Accessories for Saxophone and Clarinet
Since 2017, driven by my love for music and a desire to improve the experience of wind instrument players, I created the Vientos Vintage project. This venture combines music and technology: I design and manufacture custom accessories for saxophone and clarinet, using 3D printing technology.
The goal is clear: to offer practical, aesthetic and accessible solutions to improve the daily lives of musicians like me.
