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 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.
Controversies
It was recently confirmed by Fabio Almeida and Ian Duarte, the producers and founding members of the Kasino project, that they were responsible for Kasino's vocals from the beginning. Fher had been hired in 2005 to lead the project, promote the songs and lip sync in concerts and music videos but he's never done any vocal contributions during the time he was fronting the project. The lead vocals heard on the "Light Of Love" album, which includes hits like "Can't Get Over" and "Stay Tonight", were provided by Fabio Almeida, although his voice had been mixed with Ian's on some of the tracks. Between 2007-2008, Kasino went through some changes. Fher resigned from the project and soon after a new vocalist arrived to the group, Bo Anders, who really did the vocals during the time he was leading the project. He left in 2009 after the producers decided to temporarily shut down Kasino's activities. [4][5]
