Ivete Sangalo's origins

Known for her upbeat singing style that's characteristic of the Axe genre, Sangalo started as a performer in her late teens, when she began singing at school events and in local bars. Soon, she caught the attention of Sony Music, who subsequently signed her as the lead singer of Axe act Banda Eva in the early '90s. She has since gone from strength to strength, delivering some of the biggest hits in Brazilian music.

Sangalo quit Banda Eva at the height of their popularity to embark on a solo career. Her eponymous 1999 debut album went platinum, and so did her next, 2000's Beat Beleza.

Sangalo got the world's attention with "Festa", a party anthem released in 2000 accompanied by a promo featuring several major Brazilian celebrities. The track single-handedly catapulted its same-named parent album to platinum status. Sangalo's next big hit came in 2004 with "Sorte Grande", an upbeat track frequently chanted in soccer stadiums during the time and regularly played at parties and on the radio.

In fact, a live DVD album that featured a performance of the song at Fonte Nova Stadium reached diamond certification three times. The hit firmly established Sangalo as the brand ambassador of Brazilian music globally.

In 2006 Sangalo was invited to perform at the Maracana Stadium in Rio, alongside such global acts as The Rolling Stones, Madonna and Paul McCartney. It was the first time since 2002 that a Brazilian act had appeared at the venue.
