Kasino is a eurodance group from Brazil. The group consists of Fabio Almeida and Ian Duarte, the founding members, and Fher Cassini who fronted the project. Conceived to be only a studio project, Kasino rose to fame after the sudden inclusion of their first single "Can't Get Over" on the official soundtrack of the telenovela América. Quickly the music became a hit in Brazil. Some people who knew the group did not know that it was composed by Brazilians.[1][2][3] According to ECAD, "Can't Get Over" was the 18th most played song in Southern Brazil between January and March 2006 and the 6th most played song in Northern Brazil between January and March 2006. Another successful song was "Shake It", which was the 14th most played song in the South of Brazil between April and June 2007. Other songs that were featured on soap opera tracks were "Sexy Baby", in Sabor da Paixão, in 2003, and "Shake It ", in Páginas da Vida, 2006.

Background

In 2014, the group Kasino returned with the former voice of Fher Cassini, with the single "So Free", which was recorded at Eclips studio, and released on March 6, 2014.

The musical project Kasino is still well remembered on social networks, especially for a video of the group performing on the Sabadaço program, hosted by Gilberto Barros.

Kasino is currently back with founding members Fabio Almeida and Ian Duarte on the front. Their comeback single "Get Down" was released on October 7, 2022.

Rumours

There are rumors that Fher Cassini was not actual vocalist of Kasino and that he was just hired to front the project and lip sync to pre-recorded vocals. Fabio Almeida and Ian Duarte, the founders of the Kasino project, are believed to be the real singers. What is assumed is that the voice of the project came about with the help of autotune and with the mixture between the voices of both (Fabio and Ian) and that Fher did not make any vocal contributions to the songs. Although never confirmed and Fher has always denied it in interviews[4], it is a rumor that has been gaining a lot of strength especially due to the similarity between the vocals on the most recent single "Get Down"[5] and the vocals on the singles released in the 2000s[6] when Fher was still leading the project as the frontman.
