SUMMARY:

This work aims to analyze the process of integrating various Northeastern
musical expressions in the formation of the Radio Farol quadrilha, investigating
how these cultural pluralities were incorporated over time and space and their
impact on the identity and territoriality of the group, with an emphasis on Cultural
Geography. The research explores how the migration of the Northeastern people
to the state of Rondonia, especially to the capital Porto Velho, led to the merging
of popular Brazilian folk culture with the Amazonian folk imaginary, resulting in
the construction of a new local identity. According to Cuche (1990), identity is the
sense of belonging inherent to the group, related to representation, identification,
affirmation, and cultural distinction. The study adopts a phenomenological
approach, a qualitative methodology that seeks to understand the phenomenon
in its entirety, valuing the subjective reality of individuals (Demo, 2005).
The justification for the study lies in the relevance of Junina quadrilhas as a
significant expression of Brazilian popular culture. The lyrics of the Northeastern
songs analyzed in the folkloric group demonstrate that the Sao Joao festival is a
central element in the culture of the Northeastern Region, serving as a space to
express pride, romance, and personal emotions. The research examines the
process of identity resulting from the cultural hybridization that occurred with the
colonization of the state of Rondonia, highlighting the influence of the largest folk
festival in the Northern Region, the Flor do Maracuja, and the quadrilha Junina
Radio Farol. These events highlight the cultural identity that unites their
participants and contributes to the construction of local culture.
It was analyzed that Northeastern music remains present in the compositions and
adaptations of the quadrilha’s plots, reflecting cultural integration. The research
also revealed that the Folkloric Recreational and Cultural Group Os Caipiras da
Radio Farol exemplifies cultural hybridism and influences the construction of local
identity in Porto Velho, Rondonia. The results show that Northeastern music and
other musical rhythms are part of the living space, creating a unique identity with
appreciation for the belonging place. The dissemination of the research showed
that the work and cultural processes developed by Quadrilha Radio Farol and
Flor do Maracuja are cultural symbols of Rondonia, deserving greater recognition
and understanding by the local population.
