Unquestionably, however, it's the DVD version that matters, since this is a show that is meant to be seen more than heard.
#Ivete sangalo chorando se foi tv#
The CD also makes room for a new studio track, "Completo," which Sangalo recorded for a TV spot.
No big event is complete without special guests, and Ivete's list dutifully includes Alejandro Sanz, Samuel Rosa, MC Buchecha, Saulo Fernandes, and Durval Lelys. There is something for everyone: axé, reggae, funk, pop, and the inevitable slow torch number, all executed by a tight (if rather faceless) big band - understandably overpowered by Sangalo's monster charisma. This is a party designed to send everybody home happy and dead tired from singing and dancing. Alternating some of her many hits with new songs or new versions of old material, Sangalo burns through the set with her characteristic enthusiasm and infectious star magnetism, incessantly cheered on by an adoring audience of 55,000. Accordingly, Sangalo put on a show at the Maracanã that should leave no one envious of the megaconcerts offered in Rio by Madonna, Michael Jackson, and the Rolling Stones.
Sangalo rose to fame with the axé band Banda Eva, and since 1999 has embarked on an unstoppable solo career, making her the undisputed queen of pop in Brazil in terms of sales and popularity, as well as gathering countless industry and society awards. This Ivete Sangalo concert at Rio de Janeiro's legendary Maracanã Stadium, and the subsequent DVD/CD releases, constituted the year's main event in Brazilian pop music.
