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 ↴
Lua sai, ventania
Abraça uma nuvem que passa no ar
Beija, brinca e deixa passar
E no ar de outro dia
Meu olhar surgia
Nas pontas de estrelas perdidas no mar
Raio se libertou
Clareou, muito mais
Se encantou pela cor lilás
Prata na luz do amor
Céu azul
Eu quero ver o pôr do sol
Lindo como ele só
E gente pra ver e viajar
No seu mar de raio
Eu quero ver o pôr do sol
Lindo como ele só
E gente pra ver e viajar
No seu mar de raio
Amanhã, outro dia
Lua sai, ventania
Abraça uma nuvem que passa no ar
Beija, brinca e deixa passar
E no ar de outro dia
Meu olhar surgia
Nas pontas de estrelas perdidas no mar
Pra chover de emoção, trovejar
Raio se libertou
Clareou, muito mais
Se encantou pela cor lilás
Prata na luz do amor
Céu azul
Eu quero ver o pôr do sol
Lindo como ele só
E gente pra ver e viajar
No seu mar de raio
Eu quero ver o pôr do sol
Lindo como ele só
E gente pra ver e viajar
No seu mar de raio
E Djavanear
E Djavanear
E Djavanear
These lyrics are from the song "Lilás" by Ivete Sangalo. The song talks about embracing the beauty and energy of a new day, as well as the transformative power of love and the desire to experience extraordinary moments.
The first verse sets the scene for a new day, where the moon comes out and the wind blows. It describes the act of embracing a passing cloud in the air, playing with it and letting it go. This imagery suggests a sense of freedom and spontaneity.
In the next few lines, the lyrics express how the singer's gaze emerges in the air of another day, finding itself on the tips of stars that are lost in the sea. This metaphorical depiction embodies a yearning for intense emotions and a desire for thunderstorms of passion.
The following lines convey the idea that a ray of light has been set free, illuminating and brightening everything around. This ray becomes enchanted by the color lilac and shines silver in the light of love. The mention of a blue sky adds to the imagery of a beautiful and idyllic setting.
The chorus of the song expresses the longing to witness the sunset, described as "beautiful like no other." The lyrics emphasize the desire for people to gather and experience this captivating moment together, as they embark on a journey in the "sea of lightning." This imagery suggests a desire for adventure and shared experiences.
The final lines of the song mention "Djavanear," which refers to the influential Brazilian musician Djavan. This can be interpreted as a reference to the desire to immerse oneself in the enchanting and transcendent beauty of music, just like Djavan's compositions often inspire emotions and introspection.
Overall, these lyrics celebrate the beauty of nature, the transformative power of love, and the desire to experience extraordinary moments with others. The song conveys a sense of longing and a yearning for emotional intensity and profound connections.
