Alceu Valenca was born in countryside Pernambuco, Northeast Brazil. He is considered the most successful artist in achieving an aesthetic balance between traditional northeastern Brazilian music and a broad range of electronic sounds and effects from pop music. One can find traces of maracatu, coco and "repentes de viola" (improvising fast-paced Brazilian folk music) in most of his songs. Alceu was able to utilize the electric guitar the electric bass, and lately even a synthesizer was added to his broad scope of musical instruments.
Because of that, Alceu was able to recreate Northeastern traditional music, like baiao, coco, toada, maracatu, frevo, caboclinhos, embolada and repentes: all sung with a sometimes rock sometimes alternative sounding music background. His music and his themes are intangible, universal and unlimited. However, his aesthetic basis is genuinely Brazilian Northeastern music.
Dia Branco
Alceu Valença Lyrics

Eu te prometo o sol se hoje o sol sair
Ou a chuva..
Se a chuva cair.
Se você vier até onde a gente chegar
Numa praça na beira do mar
Num pedaço de qualquer lugar.
Esse tanto, esse tão grande amor
Se você quiser e vier pro que der e vier comigo.
Se você vier, pro que der e vier, comigo
Eu te prometo sol, se hoje o sol sair
Ou a chuva, se a chuva cair, se você vier
Até onde a gente chegar
Numa praça na beira do mar
Num pedaço de qualquer lugar
E neste dia branco, se branco ele for
Esse tanto, esse tão grande amor
Se você quiser e vier pro que der e vier comigo.
Alceu Valença's song "Dia Branco" expresses an unconditional and romantic love that is willing to face any obstacle that comes their way. The song's opening lines, "Se você vier pro que der e vier comigo / Eu te prometo o sol se hoje o sol sair / Ou a chuva.. / Se a chuva cair," highlight the singer's commitment to their lover, promising to be there for them no matter the ups and downs of life. The following lyrics continue to emphasize this devotion, expressing an openness to going wherever their love takes them, even if it means being in "a piece of any place" or "on the edge of the sea in a square."
The central theme of the song is the purity and beauty of love, as expressed through the repeated phrase "nesse dia branco." This can be interpreted in many ways, but it is often understood as representing a new beginning, similar to a "blank slate" or a "clean slate." The images of the sun and the rain further emphasize this idea of renewal, as they are natural phenomena that bring life and rejuvenation. Altogether, "Dia Branco" is a deeply emotional song that speaks to the power of love and the transformative nature of a fresh start.
