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 ↴
Sonha, sonha com amigos
Uma fada brasileira
De agrados e castigos
Sonhando abrir a porta
Do reino das águas claras
Um céu de estrelas marinhas
Narizinho, narizinho
Sonha, sonha com amigos
Uma fada brasileira
De agrados e castigos
Uma aranha sobe e desce
Vem e tece o seu vestido
Com as cores do pedido
Felicidade brilhante
Narizinho, narizinho
Sonha, sonha com amigos
Uma fada brasileira
De agrados e castigos
A boneca, já falante
Lhe foge entre os dedos
Nastácia, o pesadelo
De acordá-la sempre antes
Narizinho, narizinho
Sonha, sonha com amigos
Uma fada brasileira
De agrados e castigos
Os heróis de outras histórias
Tão cansados e inocentes
Vão deixar as suas glórias
Pra viver junto da gente
Narizinho, narizinho
Sonha, sonha com amigos
Uma fada brasileira
De agrados e castigos
The lyrics of "Narizinho" by Ivete Sangalo revolve around the character of Narizinho, a Brazilian fairy who dreams of going to the "Kingdom of Clear Waters," a world filled with starfish and rare shells. Along with her friends, she goes on adventures, encountering interesting creatures like a spider who weaves a dress for her with the colors that she asks for. The song also mentions the character Nastácia, who represents a nightmare for Narizinho as she always wakes up before she can catch her.
The lyrics are a reference to the works of Monteiro Lobato, a famous Brazilian writer known for his children’s books. Narizinho is a character from Lobato’s series of books called Sítio do Pica-Pau Amarelo, which features a large cast of colorful characters and explores themes of Brazilian folklore, nature, and science. The song captures the whimsy and imagination of Lobato’s stories while also showcasing Ivete Sangalo's distinct musical style.
