Biography

Cascadura, originally known as Dr. Cascadura, was a Brazilian rock band founded in 1992 in the city of Salvador, with vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Fábio Cascadura as its main creative mind. The band stood out in the Bahian and national independent rock scene, accumulating praised albums and appearances at major festivals, such as the Brazilian edition of Lollapalooza.

Throughout its trajectory, the group released remarkable works such as the albums Dr. Cascadura #1, Entre!, Bogary, and the acclaimed double album Aleluia, released in 2012 and winner of the Dynamite Award. The band's work received praise from great names in Brazilian music, such as Caetano Veloso, in addition to featuring collaborations with major artists like Pitty and Nando Reis.

After ending their official activities in 2015, the members reunited on special occasions to celebrate commemorative dates of their career, such as the 25th and 30th anniversaries of the road, in addition to the reunion project Juntos Somos Nós.
