As a teenager, Sangalo started to sing and play acoustic guitar at events, festivals and presentations of the school where she studied. Her debut show happened in the Ondina Neighborhood, Salvador, in August 1992. With that show she won the Dorival Caymmi trophy, the Grammy of Bahian music.
In 1993, Sony decided to reform the axé group Banda Eva and she was chosen as the lead singer. With her charismatic image, their first album soon topped the Brazilian album chart. Her live album with the band, Banda Eva Ao Vivo, was their best-selling album, selling over a million copies in 1997. In 1999, she decided to start a solo career and released her first self-titled album. With lots of upbeat Bahian rhythms and axé, the album received gold and platinum certification. The following year she released another album, Beat Beleza, which also achieved platinum status.
In 2001 she released the album Festa. The title teack was very popular and the album got platinum certification. "Festa" was her biggest hit single up to that point and the video also received huge airplay. "Festa" ended up being the most popular song of 2001 in Brazil. In 2002, she released the compilation album Se Eu Não Te Amasse Tanto Assim, titled after one of her biggest number-one hits. The album, which features a duet with American singer Brian McKnight, didn't sell as much , but was still a hit. Following Se Eu Não Te Amasse Tanto Assim, she released Clube Carnavalesco Inocentes Em Progresso in 2003. It was the lowest-selling solo album of her career but it still managed to receive gold certification.
Her first solo live album MTV Ao Vivo Ivete Sangalo released in 2004, included her biggest hits, lots of them never released on an album before, and some Banda Eva hits. The album received diamond certification and was the second best-selling album of 2004.
Her 2005 album, As Supernovas, received triple platinum certification shortly after it's release. The album was less upbeat than the others and included some songs with a 70's touch, with the big influence of Brazilian singer Ed Motta. She also included the hit "Soy Loco Por Ti America", a Gilberto Gil song. "Quando a Chuva Passar" recently reached number two on the Brazilian singles chart and was notable for being nominated at the Latin Grammy Awards, an uncommon feature for a non-Spanish speaking singer.
On December 16, 2006, she performed in the biggest stadium in the world, Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, where Paul McCartney, Rolling Stones, Kiss, The Police, and Madonna have also performed. She was the first Brazilian act to perform in this stadium since pop phenomenon Sandy & Junior in 2002.
Ivete has sold more than 7 million CD copies and more than 2.5 million DVD copies.

Ivete Sangalo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nem imagina como vai ficar
Quem tomou um banho frio em casa
Em pouco tempo vai se esquentar
Jogando seu corpo
Pro lado e pro outro
Deixando a música lhe movimentar
Vem nessa alegria nos acompanhar
Agora, eu quero ver
A galera batendo com a mão
Todo mundo saindo do chão
Com a mãozinha pra lá e pra cá
Subir, subir, subir, subir, subir, subir
Subir o astral
Subir, subir, subir, subir, subir, subir
Vai dar pra todo mundo.
The song "Astral" by Ivete Sangalo is a fun and upbeat track that encourages listeners to let loose and enjoy themselves. The lyrics are all about getting into a party mood and letting the music move your body. The opening lines, "Astral pra cima, pra entrar no clima" mean "lift your spirits up, get into the mood". It's a fitting invitation to what follows, as the lyrics go on to describe the kinds of movements that will get you into the party spirit, "Jogando seu corpo, Pro lado e pro outro" or "move your body, to the right and the left." The lyrics also allude to the idea that the energy of the music can warm you up, even if you started out cold, "Quem tomou um banho frio em casa, Em pouco tempo vai se esquentar" or "those who took a cold shower at home, in no time will warm up."
As the song progresses, it encourages people to come together and enjoy the moment. The line "Todo o seu suingue no balanço da banda" translates to "All your swing in the rhythm of the band." It's a call to people to join in the fun and dance. The chorus, "Subir o astral," means to "boost your spirits" and is the main theme of the song. It's a reminder that sometimes we need to let go of our worries and just live in the moment. The song ends with "Vai dar pra todo mundo" meaning "everyone's going to get it" or "everyone is going to be okay." It's a fitting end to a song that is all about letting go and enjoying the present.

Astral pra cima, pra entrar no clima
Elevate your mood, get in the groove
Nem imagina como vai ficar
You have no idea how it'll be
Quem tomou um banho frio em casa
Anyone who felt cold at home
Em pouco tempo vai se esquentar
Will soon heat up
Jogando seu corpo
Throwing your body
Pro lado e pro outro
From side to side
Deixando a música lhe movimentar
Letting the music move you
Todo o seu suingue no balanço da banda
All your moves to the beat of the band
Vem nessa alegria nos acompanhar
Join us in this happiness
Agora, eu quero ver
Now, I want to see
A galera batendo com a mão
The crowd clapping their hands
Todo mundo saindo do chão
Everyone getting off the floor
Com a mãozinha pra lá e pra cá
Waving their hands up and down
Subir, subir, subir, subir, subir, subir
Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise
Subir o astral
Elevate your mood
Vai dar pra todo mundo
Everyone can feel it
