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 ↴
Bota a mão no pescoço
Pro outro, pro outro, pro outro
Quero ver toda a galera dançando animada
Jogando os braços pra cima, olha o grito da massa
Quem tá de fora logo chega pra ver
Pra dançar, dançar, dançar
Rebola, bolabolê
Vê se desembola, não enrola
Quero ver tererê, tererê, tererê,
Eu quero ver você dançar de banda
Quero ver, quero ver
Todo mundo olhando
Quero ver, quero ver
E nesse vira, vira, vira, vira, vira, ê
E nesse vira, vira, vira, vira, vira, ê
The lyrics to Ivete Sangalo's song Vira are playful and energetic. The repeated phrase "pro lado, pro lado, pro lado" and "pro outro, pro outro, pro outro" suggest a call and response with the audience, urging them to move and dance along. The lyrics also mention the importance of community and the joy of being at a party with others, as everyone throws their arms up and cheers. The use of "tererê, tererê" adds to the playful feel of the song, encouraging listeners to let loose and enjoy themselves.
Overall, the song encourages a fun and carefree attitude. The repetition of various phrases creates a sense of unity and shared experience between the artist and the audience, as well as among the audience members themselves. The focus is on letting go and having a good time, rather than becoming too self-conscious or worrying about how one looks while dancing. The playful, catchy melody of the song only adds to the infectiously joyful vibe.

Uma música foda e pouca conhecida, eu ouvi essa música em 2002 mas não sabia o nome; hoje veio na minha mente um trechino; coloquei no YouTube e deu certo kkk. Aumentei o volume do som no último volume e comecei a dançar.
