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 ↴
Tú te puedes acercar
A mezclarte con mi mundo
Tú te tienes que quedar
Hay una fiesta en el gueto
Tú te puedes acercar
A mezclarte con mi mundo
Gente de todo color
Y razas de toda fe
Guitarra de rock & roll
Batuca de candombé
A bailar
Pra ver como la tribu se va
Mira como el suelo tiembla
Madre negra nos mandó llamar
Avisó, avisó, avisó, avisó
Que va a haber una fiesta
Va haber
Porque todo el gueto mandó avisar
Que va a haber una fiesta
Va haber
Porque todo el gueto mandó avisar
The song "Fiesta" by Ivete Sangalo is an invitation to a party happening in the ghetto. The lyrics cheerfully address the idea that everyone is welcome to come and join in despite the social and cultural differences that might exist between them. The repeated verse "Tú te puedes acercar/A mezclarte con mi mundo/Tú me tienes que cantar" expresses the idea that while one can come and immerse themselves in the culture of the ghetto, they also have to participate and contribute to the party, they need to sing and dance along.
The lyrics also bring attention to the diversity of the people attending the party "Gente de todo color/Y razas de toda fe," highlighting that this event is a melting pot of cultures coming together to celebrate. The guitar and the Batuca drum blend into a unique sound that makes everybody dance, regardless of their background. Sangalo also pays homage to the African roots of Brazilian music by mentioning the "Batuca de candombé," a percussion instrument brought to Brazil by the African diaspora. The song celebrates the unity and acceptance fostered in parties, which can dissolve differences between people and make connections stronger.

Foi a música que alavancou de vez a carreira de Ivete , foram 13 semanas em primeiro lugar na rádios do País, maior hit de sua carreira em 2002, e tema do penta.

Franklin Barbosa carro velho já era uma epidemia antes amigo.

Não, ela já tinha feito muito sucesso na Banda Eva, e depois logo em 99 na carreira solo, ela já se consolidou com Canibal, e Se Eu Não Te Amasse Tanto Assim.

Saudade dessa época. Brasil penta, Ronaldo sendo febre das crianças e o Brasil unido. Talvez a última recordação de nosso país sem divisões.
