Source-derived summary

Cara de Dios is an EP by the Chilean band La Ley. La Ley performed a new song, "En La Ciudad", at a live TV concert, which set the expectations for the release of a new album. Because fans were expecting an album featuring the song, PolyGram decided to release "Cara de Dios", which remains an album searched for by the fans, similar to the albums Desiertos, Doble Opuesto, and La Ley. Two singles were released from the album, for which no music videos were produced and this is the final album with band founder and guitarist Andrés Bobe.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Cara de Dios” as 1994 extended play by La Ley. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA useful identification and reception guide that helps separate the work itself from editions, performances, ownership and later interpretation. The current 99-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1994. The account is most persuasive where Cara, Dios and extended can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 1994 extended play by La Ley. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5037332. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
