Guy Cuevas  Guy Cuevas is a Cuban-born writer, musician, and Paris disc jockey. Born Guillermo Cuevas Carrión, he worked the turntables at Club Sept, and Le Palace before becoming the artistic director, first of Les Bains Douches, then the Barrio Latino. As a DJ, he was known for a mix featuring the funk and soul of the Philadelphia Sound, along with his connections to the world of high fashion. Guy Cuevas, (Guillermo Cuevas Carrión) was born in Havana, Cuba in 1945. He was awarded a scholarship to a playwriting workshop created shortly after the 1959 revolution. The workshop was held at the National Theater of Cuba directed by Fermín Borges, other students included Eugenio Hernández, Gerardo Fulleda León, Ana Justina Cabrera, Santiago Ruiz and José Mario Rodríguez, many of whom have made names for themselves as playwrights and authors. Fulleda León remembers the group hanging out for long hours after class in cafes or street corners to talk about essays, plays, ethnographies, stories and poems, or whatever they were working on. While still attending the workshop, Cuevas published a collection of short stories, "Ni un Sí, ni un No" with Ediciones El Puente founded by fellow student José Mario Rodríguez. In 1964, Cuevas immigrated to France where he continued to write, sleeping on floors and working odd jobs until he got his first job DJing at club Nuage. His big break came shortly afterward, when he was discovered by the openly gay impresario Fabrice Emaer, who hired him as a DJ at Club Sept, his restaurant-discothèque at 7 (sept) Sainte-Anne street.

One writer has called the Sept, "the epicenter of disco with DJ Guy Cuevas at the turntables. He played the O'Jays, Billy Paul, Teddy Pendergrass and Marvin Gaye, as well as Salsa and Latin American music, and sometimes, "stuff that wasn't at all danceable, like Marilyn Monroe or bird sounds or tam tam, whatever passed through my head."
