Alcione was introduced to the traditional Brazilian music by her father. He was a military musician who worked as the conductor of the corps marching band. At the age of thirteen, she was already able to give vocal performance in college parties. At this same age, she began to study clarinet, and then learnt to play the trumpet.
At age 20 Alcione moved to Rio de Janeiro. There she worked at the city's TV Excelsior, and later went on tour in Argentina and Chile for four months. On returning to Brazil, she settled in São Paulo, working in nightclub and making appearances on television. In 1970, she started her two-year tour in Europe, performing as a vocalist and a trumpet artist.
In 1972, when back to Brazil, Alcione recorded her first single. The following year, she traveled to sing in Mexico and, in 1974, Portugal, where she recorded her first full-length album. In 1975 Alcione released her LP, A Voz do Samba, which achieved gold sales status and featured several hit tracks. The most successful songs were Não Deixe o Samba Morrer, written by Edson and Aloiso, and O Surdo, written by Totonho/Paulinho Resende.
In the late 1970s, Nazaré became well-known as a samba artist and achieved international recognition. She recorded Alerta Geral for Philips Records and, in 1978, released this album, the title of which was taken from a television show that Alcione had hosted on TV Globo for two years. Following its success, Alcione continued to release several other full-length albums in late 1970s and early 1980s, including her self-titled album.
In 1997, Alcione signed with Universal Records, subsequently releasing a label debut named Valeu, through Polygram the next year. This was followed by Celebração that same year, and Claridade---Uma Homenagem A Clara Nunes in 1999. In December 2002 Alcione was recognized for playing an important part in founding the Paraíso School of Samba in London, England. She also helped organizing and preparing the stage for a British version of the Carnival Brasil, Paraíso dos Orixás (Brazil, Paradise of the Gods). In 2003, her 2002 album, Ao Vivo, received the Best Samba/Pagode Album Award at fourth Latin Grammy Award ceremony.
She has interpreted several hits such as Não deixe o samba morrer, Lá vem você, Gostoso veneno and Ilha da maré.
On July 7, 2007 she performed at the Brazilian leg of Live Earth in Rio de Janeiro.

Alcione Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que você tem outra pessoa
Essa gente não perdoa
Quer o fim do nosso amor
Andam dizendo por aí
Que você está diferente
Isso é coisa dessa gente
O que eles não sabem
É que a gente se entende
É que a gente combina
Com total perfeição
O que eles não sabem
É que a gente se ama
E na vida e na cama
Tudo explode em paixão
Mas se isso tudo é verdade
Não me diga, que outros braços são teus
Deixe eu te abafar nos beijos meus
Pra não te deixar dizer adeus
O que eles não sabem
É que a gente se entende
É que a gente combina
Com total perfeição
O que eles não sabem
É que a gente se ama
E na vida e na cama
Tudo explode em paixão
Mas se isso tudo é verdade
Não me diga, que outros braços são teus
Deixe eu te abafar nos beijos meus
Pra não te deixar dizer adeus
Andam dizendo por aí
Alcione's song "Comentarios" is a song about rumors and how it can affect a relationship. The first verse begins with the line "Andam dizendo por aí" which translates to "People are saying around here" and follows with the rumor that the singer's partner has someone else in their life. The people spreading the rumors want to see an end to their love. The second verse features another rumor about the partner acting differently, but the singer dismisses it as something that people with nothing better to do are gossiping about. The chorus repeats the idea that despite the rumors, they understand each other and have a passionate relationship. The singer pleads with their partner to not confirm or deny the rumors and instead just stay with them, kissing away any doubts.
The lyrics of the song conjure feelings of paranoia and suspicion that naturally come when rumors begin to circulate. The singer is protective of their relationship, refusing to believe any negative speculation. It is a common feeling that people experience when they are in love and see their relationship as under threat. The song is a message of love and devotion that wants to drown out the noise of rumors with affection and tenderness.
