In 1988, during a trip to Concón, Chile, Beto Cuevas met La Ley's drummer, Mauricio Clavería.

Clavería invited Cuevas to join La Ley, marking the beginning of his journey with the band. Beto made his debut as the lead singer on their first album, Desiertos, and quickly became the defining voice of La Ley. The band soon released their second album, Doble Opuesto, with Cuevas contributing significantly to the lyrics while bandleader Andrés Bobe focused on composing music.
