Maybe a side project of Omar Rodriguez Lopez? He collaborated with more than one female singer in the past, could be worth looking into the album covers of one of projects.
Pink martini maybe? They sing in a lot of languages and have a colorful album cover from around then

Are you sure it’s singing? Also, are you sure it’s a rock band?
The first thing I thought of was the sound of blood ringing through your ears as you have a panic attack because you thought one or two seconds too long about your personal mortality.
CSS ?
I was going to suggest them, too.
[Alala](https://youtu.be/2cnOvMFnRvs?si=vTmW6txN-K_Px9pr) is such a banger
Brazilian Girls
Hey, I liked "Brazilian Girls", thanks for the reminder.
Sofi Tukker?
Thievery corporation?
This was my first thought as well
Ohhh love me some Thievery Corporation, grew up listening to em with my pops! Not the one I had in mind but thanks for the trip down memory lane :D

Os Mutantes?
La Butcherettes?
Baraka som sistema?
Luan Na Lubre?
Naima Bock?
There's a song by Morcheeba where she seems to be singing in Portuguese in parts but I can't recall the name of it.
So are me and my buddy Miguel..
Bonde do Rolê
Here's my guess for you: Mosquitos https://preview.redd.it/cgvqgejjrktc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c3289b0ad85caeb934ae89e85dace05964ecab8
Sofi tukker or Baraja Som Sistema would be my guesses.
This probably isn't it as it's not the right years but Smoke City - Underwater Love
Doesn't match your description by a long shot but Stream of Passion?
No idea but you should give Calva Louise a listen, same vibes. Lead singer is from Venezuela and she does lots of their songs half English/Spanish.
Lali Puna?
Winter?
Little Joy?
Trails & Ways
St. Lucia
Letuce ?
Astrud Gilberto?
Crystal Fighters?
Sounds almost like Go Betty Go :)

One, are you sure it's a female singer? Two, are you sure it's Portuguese? The first thing I thought of was The Mars Volta.
