Edesio Alejandro Rodríguez Salvá (March 28, 1958 – March 5, 2025) was a Cuban and Spanish guitarist, singer and composer of electronic music. He wrote incidental music, music for television and more than 50 film scores such as Clandestinos and Hello Hemingway, as well as concert pieces. His works were often experimental, using synthesizers; they were influenced by rock music and Cuban music fusioned with genres such as rap and hip-hop. Some works combined actors, dancers and musicians in unusual line-ups.
