The object of this work is the musical production of the Brazilian group Quarteto Novo recorded on the homonymous LP released by Odeon in 1967.Based on analysis of phonograms disk has been found that the group produced a hybrid language, working with regional musical elements, especially those identified with the Brazilian Northeastern culture, articulated to techniques from other genres and styles.The investigation started with two assumptions: the possibility of national-popular ideology of the 60 Tues christened the aesthetic choices of the musicians, guiding them in the recovery of Brazilian musical traditions; and that the idea of rupture with jazz, expressed in the speeches of their own musicians, is relative, since there is very clear signs of typical procedures of jazz in the sonority of the Quarteto Novo.The aesthetic project that guides the production of that LP reflected, in the opinion of the musicians themselves, the concern with the "musical nationalism" and the search for a sound "typically Brazilian".All this has translated into aspects of arrangement, instrumentation and improvisation which refer to the popular music traditions.The proposal of the Quarteto Novo was embedded in a context of great political and cultural ferment stimulated by artists and intellectuals in tune with what Ridenti defined as "revolutionary Brazilianness," a symbolic construction that was a specific way of self-understanding of Brazil in those years, with a strong viii utopian connotation.The "revolutionary Brazilianness" served as a parameter to mobilize a generation of intellectuals and artists who starred in one of the most important experiences of activist art of Brazilian history.At this conjuncture, the idealization of a real "man of the people" with rural roots oriented much of the artistic production of those years, of which the disc Quarteto Novo is one of the most significant examples.ix
