Samuel Makanda’s “Darling…”: A Cinematic Game-Changer in Music Storytelling

teethsound.com

With “Darling…”, Samuel Makanda breaks through the mold of traditional music videos, delivering a compelling 12-minute film that merges visual storytelling with sonic artistry. This Louisville-based artist redefines the boundaries of musical expression by seamlessly blending his track “Darling…” with an original short story, Marigold & The Beggar. Filmed in the ethereal Secret Gardens Miami and starring Kathy Morales as Marigold alongside Makanda himself, the production is visually stunning and emotionally rich.

More than just a video, “Darling…” is a layered narrative experience, speaking to the power of love, struggle, and identity. The film’s availability in five languages English, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Russian further highlights its global reach and universal themes. Makanda’s dedication to crafting “art that makes you stop and admire the creativity” rings true in every frame and lyric.

This project isn't just music, it’s performance art, literature, and cinema rolled into one visionary creation. With “Darling…”, Samuel Makanda doesn’t just want you to listen, he wants you to feel, reflect, and be moved.
