Alcione Dias Nazareth, born on November 21, 1947, in São LuÃs, Maranhão, Brazil, began performing at age 13 under the guidance of her military bandmaster father, mastering trumpet and clarinet and captivating local audiences. At 20, she moved to Rio de Janeiro, appeared on TV Excelsior, and toured Argentina and Chile before a two-year European tour from 1970 to 1972. Upon returning to Brazil, she recorded her first single in 1972 and then released her first LP, A Voz do Samba (1975), which achieved gold status and featured enduring classics like âNão Deixe o Samba Morrerâ and âO Surdo.â Through the late 1970s and early 1980s, she solidified her status with albums such as Alerta Geral (1978) and Fruto e Raiz (1986), earning multiple gold and platinum certifications. Her global reach expanded with the Latin Grammyâwinning live album Ao Vivo (2002), and she continued to celebrate sambaâs heritage through tribute projects like Claridade (1999), honoring Clara Nunes, and Duas Faces â Jam Session (2011), featuring guest artists such as Maria Bethânia and Djavan.
