From Buenos Aires boardrooms to sold-out arenas across the globe, Eduardo Basagaña has built a career that bridges rhythm and reason—where passion meets precision and success meets scale. The Argentine executive, who has helped many musical artists sell out their concerts, has become one of the driving forces changing how Latin America makes and monetizes music.
As the founder of EB Producciones and the man behind the streaming platform +VIVO, Basagaña blends artistic instinct with entrepreneurial clarity. His formula is simple: merge the spectacle of live entertainment with the scalability of technology. The result has been nothing short of transformative for artists, audiences, and the industry’s bottom line.
Few executives have turned creativity into such consistent commercial success. Basagaña’s projects repeatedly break records and generate million-dollar returns. During the pandemic, +VIVO emerged as one of Latin America’s first streaming platforms dedicated to live digital concerts—a lifeline that not only kept performances alive but also unlocked new sources of income when the industry needed them most. That early bet turned into a record-setting grossing performance and laid the foundation for a post-pandemic entertainment renaissance, cementing Basagaña’s reputation as one of the most financially astute figures in Latin music.
His influence is visible across a constellation of artists who define Latin pop’s global moment. But Basagaña isn’t simply a producer or manager—he’s a strategist, an architect who designs bridges between cultures, markets, and generations, delivering results that fill stadiums and dominate charts.
One of his most celebrated collaborations has been with Ana Mena, the Spanish artist whose expansion into Latin America became a case study in smart, intentional growth. Under Basagaña’s direction, Mena didn’t just enter the market—she conquered it, scoring a staggering 1500% increase in streams in the region. Her groundbreaking performance in Japan, the first-ever headlining slot for a female Latin artist in Asia, was conceptualized and executed by him.
This move resonated beyond music; it was a cultural statement recognized by both the Japanese and South Korean governments as a milestone for international collaboration and another triumph in Basagaña’s growing global portfolio.
Basagaña’s creative diplomacy also works in reverse. His partnership with the K-pop group 3YE delivered an exclusive digital concert for Latin American fans, redefining what cross-border entertainment can look like. The event merged two passionate audiences—Asian and Latin—into a single digital experience, proving that the future of music is about connection.
His current focus expands that mission. With the launch of his new record label, Basagaña is setting out to discover and develop artists who represent the evolving face of sound: diverse, digital, and deeply human. His vision is to cultivate long-term artistry in a world obsessed with quick virality and to use technology not as a replacement for authenticity, but as its amplifier.
To those who know him, Basagaña’s strength lies not only in his numbers but in his nuance. He combines data-driven insight with emotional intelligence—the ability to read a room, a market, or a moment. His approach to entertainment echoes his favorite principle: “You can’t build a business without respecting creativity.”
This mindset has earned him recognition as one of Latin America’s most forward-thinking and prosperous executives—a man comfortable discussing server infrastructure and stage lighting in the same breath. His dual fluency in tech and talent makes him a rare kind of connector, one who translates between artists and algorithms, audiences and analytics, and whose ventures routinely turn vision into value.
As music becomes increasingly borderless, Basagaña continues to expand Latin America’s global footprint—not through flashy campaigns, but through consistency, integrity, and vision. Each project under his leadership, whether physical or digital, is designed to create emotion that endures, not just engagement that fades.
Today, as Latin rhythms dominate global charts and arenas fill from Madrid to Miami to Buenos Aires—all cities where Basagaña has offices—he remains one of the main forces orchestrating that movement. His work is proof that behind every hit song and viral performance, there’s a strategist turning sound into legacy and building wealth that echoes beyond the stage.
Basagaña is not chasing the next big moment. He is helping build the system that makes them possible. And as Latin music takes over the world, numbers keep soaring, and his business cashes in.
