the castros
THE CASTROS  The Castros is a husband & wife musical team that met in Savannah, GA in the summer of 2006. They started creating music together, combining very different musical influences to craft their own sound, in an attempt to reflect their passions, life experiences and God's light to the listener through their songs. Marco was born in Costa Rica and has been influenced by a lot of musical genres and styles that range from heavy music to Latin rhythms. Sara grew up in Newark, OH listening to classic rock and folk music. No wonder where their need of experimentation comes from!, and how this collapse of influences and culture makes them pretty unique. They even have a few songs in Spanglish!  They craft their songs in such a way to have a deeper meaning, so that they can evoke strong feelings to help unveil the heart and open it up to the infinite possibilities of love. That's in essence what The Castros are: a musical treat for the heart.
