Vr 25 mei, 20:30 “Freedom of Speech”, door 4Sure

4sure is een latin jazz formatie die Surinaamse Paramaribop mixed met Jazz  Brazilaanse en Cubaanse smaken. Zij worden beschouwd als de belangrijk grondleggers in deze stijl. 4Sure heeft 2 CD’s uitgebracht, "Brujeria “  en de in Italië opgenomen "Freedom of speech”.

De pers zei: "De zonnige swing die je associeert met Surinaamse jazz wordt gecombineerd met gedragen melodieën en solo’s. De power van 4Sure doet op een bepaalde manier denken aan het aloude kwartet van Chick Correa met Michael Brecker.”
"Met een afgewogen muzieklijn van uptempo en smooth, balancerend rond de genetische kern van 4Sure: de Paramaribop. En dat geeft net dat extra zonnetje dat in deze sombere tijden zo nodig is."
