Ondina Maria Farias Veloso, better known as Dina, was a Portuguese singer.
When she was young, she participated in school plays. However, after high school, she became more focused on music. She started writing compositions and joined the Quintet Group in Angola in 1975 to some success.
In 1980, she participated in the Festival da Canção with the song "Guardando em mim", in which she placed eight. She participated with two songs two years later, but they only placed sixth and eighth in the competition. However, she participated in a series of collaborations in the 1980s and early 1990s, releasing singles in the process.
She finally got her chance to represent Portugal at the Eurovision Song Contest 1992 with the song Amor d'água fresca, which placed 17th with 26 points.
Along with releasing six albums, Dina composed music for film and television, and was recognized for thirty years in the music business with a concert in Lisbon in 2009.
After a thirteen year battle with pulmonary fibrosis, Dina died on 12 April, 2019
