Kasino is a Brazilian dance music project formed in 2003, in Rio de Janeiro.
The project started when Fabio Almeida, known as Mister Jam (at the time vocalist of the homonymous band) and music producer Ian Duarte set up a production company. In 2005, they called Fher Cassini to front the project. Fher was the president of Mister Jam's fan club before he joined Kasino. Later, he left and was replaced by Bo Anders in 2008.
It has been recently confirmed by Fabio that he did the vocals on the massive hits "Can't Get Over" and "Stay Tonight" from the 2006 album "1093339", fronted by Fher Cassini, the face of Kasino in the early 2000's, which means that Fher did the vocals on the following tracks, except those first two singles. He and Fabio shared lead vocals on the song "Secret Lover" from this same album.
After a while without releasing anything new, Kasino announced their return to the music scene in September 2022. Their comeback single "Get Down" was released on the 7th October 2022, now with the original founding members Fabio Almeida and Ian Duarte on the front.
