Rafaelli Motta came up in Fortaleza, Ceará, and her music draws from the sounds of that coastal region. She's mentioned Elis Regina and Clara Nunes as influences, which gives you a sense of where her vocal style might be coming from.
Her 2017 single "Que Amor É Esse?" became a national hit in Brazil. That song's success led to her debut album, "Para Todos os Tristes," which came out the following year and mixed pop with MPB and R&B.
She's worked with artists like Marisa Monte and Seu Jorge, and her band includes a group of musicians who back her live performances. Beyond that, the details get a bit thin, but "Que Amor É Esse?" remains the track most people know her by.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
