Salvador "Sal" Cuevas (June 16, 1955 – April 9, 2017) was an American salsa bassist known for his association with the Fania All-Stars from 1978 to 1985. Although he also played the upright bass, he was one of the most popular electric bassists in the New York salsa scene, often playing in a funk style.[1] "He was the first to bring the slaps and funk style that he learned from R&B, Funk, and Jazz music, into Salsa music."[2]
