Maria is about to release her new single "ENLIGHTENING”:
The music is inspired by the idea that life is a series of dreams. The video, shot in Madagascar, tells the story of a young girl who experiences a dream within a dream. The protagonist (Miss Madagascar - Valerie Bingera) falls asleep and wakes up each time in a completely new and magical landscape - a tropical forest with lemurs, a mysterious waterfall, an island- and each time the common element is Maria Karakusheva's music, which takes her into a fairytale world where anything is possible.
