Editor's note

Valéria Dellacenta, a quiet voice from Rio

A Brazilian singer whose 1998 ballad "Há Um Nome" found a lasting audience.

If you're new to her, start with "Há Um Nome." It frames everything else.

Her song "Há Um Nome" from 1998 is the one that stuck. It's a simple ballad that people still remember, along with tracks like "Vive o Senhor" and "Me Rendo a Ti." She wrote material that sometimes touched on social themes, which wasn't always easy listening.

Born in Rio in 1967, she started in local choirs and was drawn to bossa nova and MPB. Her first album came out in 1996, mostly acoustic guitar and her own writing. The period around "Há Um Nome" in 1998 is what most listeners know her for.
