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 ↴
A vida perdeu a cor e o sabor de viver...
Em busca de resposta não ver nenhuma porta se abrindo pra você...
Mas eu te garanto, enchugue esse pranto não fique desse jeito... Deus não está mudo nem cego e surdo ao seu respeito...
Tudo tem seu tempo espera o seu momento a sua hora vai chegar você está no pausa de Deus...
Porque então de desesperar...
Deus é o único, que tem três reposta para o homem, sim, não e espera...
então aguarde firme, não pense que seus projetos se acabarão está tudo patente perante aos olhos de Deus,

The lyrics of Alcione's song "Tempo De Guarnice" talk about a person who feels abandoned by God, believing that He has stopped listening to their prayers and that they have been forgotten. The individual is going through a difficult time, feeling that life has lost its color and taste, and they can't find any answers or solutions to their problems. However, the song reassures them that God is not silent or blind or deaf to their struggles. They are reminded that everything happens in its own time and that they are currently in God's pause, a period of waiting and preparation. The lyrics encourage the person to wipe away their tears and not despair because their hour will come, and they are urged to trust in God's plan.
