Ha recibido reconocimiento internacional con sus presentaciones en el Southbank Centre de Londres, Sónar, Lowlands Festival y el Red Bull Music Festivals, entre otros. En su álbum «95 Mindjeres» (2023) reivindica sus raíces mestizas de Guinea-Bissau y Cabo Verde y destaca el papel de las mujeres por la demanda de libertad de sus derechos.

“Estradas” (“carreteras” en portugués) fue producido por Tom Halstead (Raime) e incluye nueve tracks en los que Valentina toca la marimba, percusión, batería, sintetizador, flauta y Nídia la percusión. La música de Nídia & Valentina tiene el aire primitivo a lo Schackelton y los grooves juguetones de Nicolás Jaar.
Ambas tienen una fuerte vocación experimentando con una amplio abanico de materiales, objetos y texturas electrónicas, con un pie en lo tribal y folk y otro en los sonidos abstractos, mostrando un despliegue polirítmico innovador.
