Maranhenses Ilustres - Surama K ou simplesmente Surama de Castro



Surama de Castro (heaven knows where the K came from) is Brazilian from Maranhão. She moved to USA trying to succeed professionally there, like many Brazilians do, working as fashion model and actress. It was while modeling in Italy that she met the chairman of Warner Music Italy, who liked her and introduced Surama to the producer Antonio Summa. Summa decided to produce her, and her debut song was "Save Up All Your Tears", that was recorded with Surama's voice plus two backing vocalists (and that's why its vocals sound different from the other tracks of the album). This song flopped in Italy, and the production team gave it up. The song started playing in Brazil in 1996, and soon became a hit licensed to two Brazilian labels, Paradoxx and Fieldzz. Both labels asked him for a new song to put in their compilations, and that's how "Remember" came out.

The debut album of Surama-K comes as a drop of water in the desert of productions that dance music is facing today. For the buyers of the "Yesterday & Today", the first tip is Surama's version of "My Heart Will Go On". The second song is "I Want You Into My Life", followed by "Remember", both good songs released as singles. The album version of "Save Up All Your Tears" is a little bit different from the one.

Besides the singles, the album also has some surprises, like the euro tracks "Breathe" and "Hedonism". The other tracks are reggae or a part of the music infected by the Brazilian dance scene.

Surama-K is a promising act, and her songs have got the groove a good commercial song must have!

A italiana que veio do Maranhão
O esforço para evitar o rótulo de gringa é em vão. Seu sotaque logo entrega que a maranhense Surama de Castro passou vinte de seus 35 anos no exterior, entre Nova York, Paris, Milão e Roma. Ex-modelo, atriz e cantora, ela escolheu o Leblon como pouso de seu retorno definitivo ao Brasil. Na última quarta, gravou uma microparticipação em Duas Caras, na pele de uma italiana que é assaltada. "Quero fazer uma nordestina, mas não deixam", conta. Se serve de consolo, seu próximo trabalho será no Nordeste. Ela vai encarnar Maria de Nazaré na encenação da Paixão de Cristo, em Nova Jerusalém (PE). A fase artística é boa. "Vou dar uma canja no show de Julio Iglesias em São Paulo", anuncia Surama, que lançou no ano passado um CD de New Bossa, com participação de Toquinho e uma música inédita de Nelson Motta.
