Background notes
Archive material and source history
João Cascaio was born in Lisbon in 1997. He started writing songs around age 12, influenced by the mix of fado and rock his parents played at home. In 2018, his single 'Copo Pela Metade' caught on quickly, its straightforward lyrics about love and loss connecting with listeners in Portugal.
He followed that with a series of releases: the EP 'Copo Pela Metade' in 2018, then albums like 'Caixa de Pandora' in 2019 and 'Fado Para Quem Fica' in 2021. Songs such as 'Curitiba' and 'O Que o Diabo Quer' show his tendency toward direct, personal writing. He performs with a band that includes Tiago Oliveira on guitar, João Pereira on bass, and André Silva on drums.
In 2020, a video surfaced where Cascaio used racially insensitive language, leading to canceled shows and a public apology. He has since spoken about working on his understanding of racial issues. His music continues to draw from his own experiences, often circling themes of heartbreak and personal reflection without much polish.
