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.

Não chores mais
Alcione Lyrics
Não dá mais
Pra viver na esperança
Que você arrependido
Toque minha campainha
Pra esperar que você se questione
E eu atenda o telefone
Com você na linha
Não dá mais
Pra viver essa rotina
Vendo a minha auto-estima
Ficar de um jeito
Que se eu não me cercar de precauções
Vai ser difícil de recuperar
O equilíbrio das minhas emoções
Pra que eu possa novamente amar
Estou assim
Como quem abandona o cigarro
Ficando livre aos poucos do pigarro
Retirando os cinzeiros da mesa
Estou assim
Evitando qualquer lembrança sua
Se por acaso eu te encontrar na rua
Eu não quero ser pega de surpresa
Aliás, se eu te encontro de repente
Cara a cara, frente a frente
Eu corro um grande risco
O café, a fumaça e o isqueiro
Sempre deixam pesadelos
Em quem deixou o vício
Não dá mais
'To tomando esta atitude
Porque pretendo a saúde de um amor perfeito
E se eu não me cercar de precauções
Vai ser difícil de recuperar
O equilíbrio de minhas emoções
Para que eu possa novamente amar
Estou assim
Como quem abandona o cigarro
Ficando livre aos poucos do pigarro
Retirando os cinzeiros da mesa
Estou assim
Evitando qualquer lembrança sua
Se por acaso eu te encontrar na rua
Eu não quero ser pega de surpresa
Estou assim
Como quem abandona o cigarro
Ficando livre aos poucos do pigarro
Retirando os cinzeiros da mesa
Estou assim
Evitando qualquer lembrança sua
Se por acaso eu te encontrar na rua
Eu não quero ser pega de surpresa
Pra viver na esperança
Que você arrependido
Toque minha campainha
Pra esperar que você se questione
E eu atenda o telefone
Com você na linha
Não dá mais
Vendo a minha auto-estima
Ficar de um jeito
Que se eu não me cercar de precauções
Vai ser difícil de recuperar
O equilíbrio das minhas emoções
Pra que eu possa novamente amar
Estou assim
Como quem abandona o cigarro
Ficando livre aos poucos do pigarro
Retirando os cinzeiros da mesa
Estou assim
Evitando qualquer lembrança sua
Se por acaso eu te encontrar na rua
Eu não quero ser pega de surpresa
Aliás, se eu te encontro de repente
Cara a cara, frente a frente
Eu corro um grande risco
O café, a fumaça e o isqueiro
Sempre deixam pesadelos
Em quem deixou o vício
Não dá mais

E se eu não me cercar de precauções

O equilíbrio de minhas emoções
Para que eu possa novamente amar

Como quem abandona o cigarro
Ficando livre aos poucos do pigarro
Retirando os cinzeiros da mesa
Estou assim
Evitando qualquer lembrança sua
Se por acaso eu te encontrar na rua
Eu não quero ser pega de surpresa
Estou assim
Como quem abandona o cigarro
Ficando livre aos poucos do pigarro
Retirando os cinzeiros da mesa
Estou assim
Evitando qualquer lembrança sua
Se por acaso eu te encontrar na rua
Eu não quero ser pega de surpresa
