Another Amazing Colombian Artist #9 - MAIA

Maia, from Barranquilla, is considered the most talented female artist to come out of Colombia since Shakira (though I think she is much better) and was even invited to perform at the White House for Colombian Independence day in 2005.

This pop song is very beautiful and incorporates the lightest Carribean and salsa influences to make it fresh & uniquely Colombian. It was also the theme-song of El Cachaco y la Costeña, a Colombian written and produced Telenovela that was really much better than all the usual telenovelas manufactured in quantity in Mexico and Brasil.

Niña Bonita is about a girl who wants to be more than just a pretty face in a guy's life.
