Ivete made a huge impression in the tri-state area in 2010, when her Madison Square Garden concert sold out weeks in advance, resulting in a hugely successful CD and DVD, "Multishow Live - Ivete Sangalo at Madison Square Garden." The NEW YORK TIMES concert review headline summed up the excitement: "Arena Full of Fans Caught Brazilian Fever and Had to Sing Along."

The powerhouse singer from Juazeiro, Bahia is currently touring in support of her tenth solo CD, "Real Fantasia," released October 2012. The CD showcases the versatile and contagious style of the artist between axe music from Bahia, pop and ballads. "Real Fantasia is the name of a track, the album, and the tour because of what it represents," says Ivete. "It's a translation of my life, what I'm living. My reality is a fantasy. It is playful and deeply rooted in music and art, like a daily Carnival."

The Real Fantasia tour presents several innovations. The new repertoire mixes songs from the CD and Ivete's greatest hits, many with new arrangements. The selections were made with the help of fans, who sent suggestions via Twitter. The show also features new choreography and costumes. Fans can look forward to interactivity as cameras will capture images of Ivete's band and audience for broadcast on the giant LED screen to meld the backdrop of the show and the content of the show and make each performance unique.
