The beat · Electronic performance
THE FACESThe artists behind the experience
Two artists.
One frequency.
Mauricio Ruiz · Isaias Mena
01 / Origin
It started
in Cartagena.
The Faces began with a simple yet radical vision: to make the beat something you could breathe, play and see.
Since 2014, Mauricio Ruiz and Isaias Mena have developed a language of their own, where house music meets the Colombian Caribbean, Afro rhythms and a borderless Latin identity.
The violin and trombone do not simply accompany the music—they step into the center of the show. They improvise, respond to the dance floor and turn each performance into a one-of-a-kind moment.
02 / The journey
The Faces is born
An electronic project born in Cartagena, built around beats, Caribbean sounds and instruments performed live. A new way of bringing electronic music to the stage.
The Caribbean travels
The Faces takes its sound from Cartagena to stages across Colombia, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Peru and Curaçao, sharing experiences with major artists and establishing an identity of its own.
A new vision
After a decade of evolution, The Faces enters a new chapter: reinterpreting the Caribbean through a contemporary, visual and global perspective while connecting its roots to the world's music culture.
