About Fafá de Belém

Fafá de Belém, born Maria de Fátima Palha de Figueiredo in Belém, Pará on August 9, 1956, is a Brazilian singer considered one of the great female voices of Música Popular Brasileira (MPB). She took her stage name from the city of her birth. In addition to a successful recording career that spans over three decades, she has been regarded as one of the great sex symbols of Brazilian pop music. Her husky mezzo-soprano voice is known for its extensive emotional range, from tender ballads and sensual love songs to Portuguese fados, energetic sambas and even lambadas.
