Mi Vida Bonita is almost sold out! This is a Limited Edition instrumental CD, with original music all composed and performed by Maria Staump. After selling just over 400 CD's so far, less than 600 copies remain.There will be no other copies made after these last 600 are sold!

Only 1000 copies of this album were made. I wrote this album to help introduce me to the music world, but more importantly, because I wanted others to listen to music that was inspired by feelings of gratitude for life. Mi Vida Bonita, or "My Beautiful Life", was inspired by my experiences after almost losing my life in a car accident. This album is meant to interpret the ups and downs of my experiences through music, and though there were defintely bad times, there was always beauty found within both the positive and negative. From the negative we become stronger and from the positive we are encouraged. As you are taken through the journey of my beautiful life, I am sure you will hear some of the beauty that encompasses your own life. God Bless!

Track 1: Mi Vida Bonita, "My Beautiful Life": contains three parts, all played on classical guitar. These three parts consist of rhythm, bass, and melody.

Track 2: Sonando, "Dreaming": the rhythmic guitar is played on an acoustic and the solo is played on a hollow-body electric.

Track 3: Alivio, "Relief": consists on guitar and piano. The piano maintains the rhythm and bass while the classical guitar solos.

Track 4: Salida Del Sol, "Sunrise": this is a quartet consisting of bass, rhythm, and harmonizing melodies. Each part was played with classical guitar.

Track 5: Amante, "Lover": this song features piano and classical guitar. Each instrument alternates between accompaniament and melody.

Track 6: Anochecer, "Nightfall": this song is all piano. A minuet feel that maintains the dreamy atmosphere of the rest of the album.

God Bless,

Maria
