4Sure is a latin jazz formation. Four friends-in-music from various corners of the world joined forces to create an electrifying fusion of different music styles, blending Surinam Paramaribop and jazz with Brazilian and Cuban flavors. These pioneers of Paramaribop, mixing Afro-Surinam rhythms and melody with the abstract harmonies of jazz and bebop, are now considered to be the frontrunners of contemporary Afro-Caribbean music.
Januari 2009 4Sure released their second album Freedom of SpeechRecorded in Italy- Trieste
In 2003 the quartet released its debut album Brujeria (Munich Records).
Since then 4sure toured The Netherlands, Spain, South Africa, Brazil and other countries.
the press on 4sure and Brujeria:
*‘one of the highlights of this year’s Salosburg WAM festival’
(the Citizen, S-Africa 2003)
*‘an album of pure latin jazz and strong melodies, without the jazz
influences being smothered in a wall of conga and marimba sounds, but
instead blending in naturally with the music.’
(Telegraaf, 2004)
*‘4Sure proves that their latin jazz sound is one of a special kind’
(NRC Handelsblad, 2004)
