Cassia Eller ( 1962 - 2001 ) : Daughter of an army officer, Cassia was born in Rio de Janeiro, but grew up in different cities due to her father’s assignments. She chose to be a singer at age 14, when someone gave her a guitar. Later on, in Brasília (State Capital), she would sing with choirs and trios elétricos (trucks specially remodeled to accommodate a live band, created in Bahia, in the 70s, for Carnival purposes), and trained classical singing. In 1989 she headed to São Paulo, passing around a demo tape of the song "Por Enquanto", by Renato Russo. She signed to Polygram and released her first LP, "Cássia Eller", in 1990. ( Clique Music )
