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

Falo desse chão, da nossa casa, vem que tá na hora de
arrumar
Tempo, quero viver mais duzentos anos
Quero não ferir meu semelhante, nem por isso quero me
fer
opressão
Para construir a vida nova vamos precisar de muito
amor
A felicidade mora ao lado e quem não é tolo pode ver
A paz na Terra, amor, o pé na terra
A paz na Terra, amor, o sal da...
Terra, és o mais bonito dos planetas
Tão te maltratando por dinheiro, tu que és a nave
nossa irmã
Canta, leva tua vida em harmonia
E nos alimenta com teus frutos, tu que és do homem a
maçã
Vamos precisar de todo mundo, um mais um é sempre mais
que dois
Prá melhor juntar as nossas forças é só repartir
melhor o pão
Recriar o paraíso agora para merecer quem vem depois
Deixa nascer o amor
Deixa fluir o amor
Deixa crescer o amor
Deixa viver o amor
O sal da terra
The song "O Sal da Terra" by Ivete Sangalo talks about the importance of love, harmony, and peace on earth. The lyrics start by calling to attention the need for us to take care of our land, our home, and to tidy up what has been arranged. They then go on to express the desire to live for another two hundred years, but not at the expense of hurting anyone else. The song emphasizes the importance of eradicating oppression and constructing a new life with love as the basis for happiness. The idea that happiness is readily available to those who aren't foolish is reinforced. The chorus repeats the words "The salt of the earth," perhaps referring to the significance of everything coming to fruition through the efforts of hard-working farmers.
The second verse describes the earth as the prettiest of planets even though it is being mistreated for financial gain, alluding to the environmental damage humans are inflicting upon their home. It speaks of the importance of living harmoniously with the planet, being nourished by its fruit, and being aware that all our fellow human beings are like siblings. The song encourages people to come together to eradicate oppression and to share food equally, creating a paradise that would be deserving of the generations that succeed us.
