Cássia

Cassia Eller is an iconic figure in Brazilian music. Her brief but impressive passage through the music scene in the 1990s left an undeniable mark on the culture and musical history.

In 1990, she became an underground favorite with the release of her self-titled debut album, which contained the song “Rubens,” an ambiguous love song that was censored by the authorities. Her follow-up release, 1992’s E.C.T., has been called “a battle cry for sexual freedom.”

Eller gave birth to a son, Francisco “Chicão” Eller, in 1993. That same year, she went public with her long-term relationship with Maria Eugênia Vieira Martins. She explained that she came out so that her son could grow up without hearing rumors about his mother.

From a social aspect, her death had a lasting national impact, due to the custody of her son, who ended up, surprisingly, with her partner Eugênia. Cássia was a figure who left an impact both cultural and social, exposing taboos and demonstrating her strength as a public person.
