Biography

Early life

Diego Saa was born in Quito, Ecuador on October 18, 1980. His full birth name is Diego Enrique Saa Villamar. Diego began playing music when he was 13, when he started receiving private classic piano lessons. Later he started playing bass and singing in school bands.

Verde70

Recognition of his playing started in Ecuador when Verde70 released its first CD Alegre Depresion, which instantly topped Ecuador's charts for several weeks. His recognition as a member of Verde70 increased with the group's second release Ruta Melancolia, and third release Con Cierto Cuidado.

After a hiatus from 2008 to 2014, in which Diego moved to the United States and created the Rock en Español La Gente Naranja, Verde70 released two more albums: the full length studio album Verde70, and the EP Tres A La Vez

Skankafe

Parallel to his involvement with Verde70, in 2006, Diego became a trumpet player for the Quito Ska-Punk band, Skankafe. However, Diego didn't have the opportunity to record an album with Skankafe until he returned to Ecuador after living for 4 years in the United States, where he created the band La Gente Naranja.

La Gente Naranja

After the disintegration of Verde70 in 2008, Diego relocated to Florida, where he formed the band La Gente Naranja, with whom he recorded the band's debut album Luz al Sur.
