Artists in Residence


Summer is sizzling in the Living Room with a crop of talented artists putting their singular stamp on Faena’s curated music lineup.

Living Room Performer

Faena’s Late Night Resident music program will be headlined by Trinidad-born artist, KEBA, who will make her highly anticipated return to the Living Room stage this May with three weeks of performances. She will be backed by the Black Hat Band, with stunning performances from burlesque siren Elena Lee and her ensemble. KEBA’s soul-flavored songs are anthems about becoming a self-made woman in America. Her lyrics combine raw vulnerability with a cultural exploration of love, femininity, and identity as a first-generation immigrant and millennial. Her music is a sensual fusion of pop, R&B, and Caribbean soul, accented with melodic basslines, exotic rhythms, and theatrical climaxes.

Liset Alea, from the notable French band Nouvelle Vague, will imbue summer evenings with her magnetic sensuality and emotive voice that flows over any genre of musical arrangements. Born in Cuba, raised in Miami, and living in Europe for the past 20 years, Alea is a culture-fluid multi-instrumentalist, skipping hypnotically between languages from English to French to Spanish while she softly plays guitar. She’s been likened to a breathy, minimalist, mellowed-out Astrud Gilberto on acoustic guitar.

The Funky Suspects will join other long-established weekly residencies this summer, including Mi Dulce Son, American Gypsy, the French Horn Collective, and crooner Louis Amanti, bringing their funky disco soul take on classics every Thursday evening. DJ sets from Richie Hell, Diego Ciaramella, Corrado Rizza, and others complement the live performances.

FEATURED COCKTAIL

The Cathedral

The fruits of the earth shine through in The Cathedral, a pre-prohibition cocktail recipe from the heart of Havana, Cuba. Giffard’s Abricot Du Roussillon provides a beautifully nuanced mix of fresh apricot, citrus flavors, and a touch of nuttiness and allspice, which plays off the rich brown sugar and molasses notes of Havana Club rum. The summer elixir is brightened with fresh-pressed lime juice, while depth is added with orange bitters and Fee Foam. During happy hour, it’s presented with an Instagram-worthy smoke bubble.

Where Fire and Flavor Ignite

"What makes Los Fuegos truly extraordinary is our commitment to the ancient art of cooking with fire,” explained Yassine Belkady, the restaurant’s manager. “We use no electricity whatsoever—just fire, wood ovens, and tradition” Everything has that distinctive char, those bold, nearly burnt flavors that taste almost primal. “When you dine here, you can literally smell the wood and rosemary in the air,” he added. The restaurant’s setting matches its culinary panache. By day, the veranda transforms into an airy ambience when its retractable roof opens to Miami’s brilliant skies. Guests enjoy lunch while overlooking the property’s stunning pool, creating what Belkady called “a completely different experience than any other hotel or restaurant in Miami.” 

Beneath the Tree of Life

Mornings here unfold slowly while guests sip on fresh-pressed juices—like the South Beach, a tropical elixir of coconut water, local citrus, mango, and strawberry, or a vitamin-rich Green Juice packed with spinach, kale, ginger, cucumber, celery and green apple. “The tranquility makes it really special,” noted Joshua Rodriguez, Director of Nightlife. “It’s a place where guests can grab a coffee, a light bite and relax or catch up on some emails.” A menu of delicious appetizers is great for snacking throughout the day, including crispy artichokes with sesame yogurt and sourdough breadcrumbs; prime rib empanadas with llajua sauce; and a vegan option of steamed veggie rice with sweet potato and broccoli. Come golden hour, the energy shifts. On weekends from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm, resident DJs set the mood as the bar transitions into a laidback sundowner haunt. The CopaCabana cocktail, a tropical indulgence of banana and apricot liqueur, coconut cream, allspice, and Bulleit Rye, is a guest favorite. “People order it because it’s served in a Faena-branded coconut, but it’s the taste that makes them request another one,” said Rodriguez.
