Diva was a Portuguese goth rock with ethereal influences band of some success in the 1980s and 1990s. The group was formed in 1985 by Natália Casanova (voice), Pedro Solaris (guitar), João Vitorino (drums), Diamante (bass) and João Marques (keys) .
In November 1985 they released a single with the themes "Chuva" and "Saudade e Raiva" for the publisher Metro-som. The cover has a graphic error because the themes are indicated as "Saudade" and "Raiva".
António Freire (guitar), Óscar Coutinho (bass) and Pedro Domingos (keys) joined the group in 1986. In 1989 they signed a contract with EMI-Valentim de Carvalho. In 1990 they released the album "Ecos de Outono", produced by Ricardo Camacho and Francis. "Amor Errante" is one of the most striking themes on the album .
In 1993 Pedro Domingos left and the violinist Carlos Aires entered. They participate with a version of "Canção de Embalar" on the album "Filhos da Madrugada. They perform in the concert" Filhos da Madrugada ao Vivo ".
The second album, "Deserto Azul", was published in 1995. The album "O Verbo", produced by Frank Darcel, was published in 1996. The album featured Adolfo Luxúria Canibal, who wrote the lyrics for the album and participates in the theme "E Verbo created the Woman".
In 1997 a CD-Single is released with remixes of "Eu Ando À Voltas"
They even recorded and pre-produced the fourth disc, which was scheduled to be released in April 1999, but stopped recording after disagreements with the Sony publisher. After a few years of stopping they even announce a new return but it did not materialize.
Natália Casanova has since collaborated on albums by Francisco Ribeiro and Citânia and on the solidarity song "Grãos de Uma Romã" .
