"A musical feast for the heart, some may say. And we agree" -Indie Mag Based in heart of thr US Midwest, The Castros have been making waves regionally and internationally with their heartfelt folky tunes.
Their music fluctuates between haunting and deep emotional pieces like "My Dear" or "Forgive Me", and catchy & happy tunes like "Pumpkin Pie" and "Secret Song". Marco is from Costa Rica and has been influenced by everything from heavy music to latin rhythms; Sara grew up in Newark, Ohio listening to classic rock and folk music. It's no wonder how this collapse of influences and cultural conversation makes them want to push envelopes and evolve their sound. They even have songs in Spanglish, and were dubbed as "The Oh Hellos meet boygenius" by the Kentucky Music Preview.
The Castros aim to craft their songs with honesty and passion, hoping they will be meaningful for anybody that will take the time to listen.
That's in essence what The Castros are: a musical treat for the heart ♥
-- They've been featured on: -Songs & Whispers Germany Circuit, TEDx Columbus, LAUNCH Music Conference (Lancaster PA), Millennium Music Conference, Columbus Arts Festival, Central Ohio Folk Festival, PBS - WOSU Broad & High TV , ABC "Good Day PA", Audiofeed Music Festival and more. "Led by vocalist Sara Castro’s cooling croon, “My Dear” starts out as a quiet, plaintive ballad that quickly evolves into a percussive, slinky Civil Wars-esque groove. Perfect for the season" - Will Hodge, NOISETRADE
