Abstract


This article studies the project by Brazilian Modernism in order to recover the Northeastern and Northem musical patrimony, destined mainly for religious uses. This enterprise took the form of an ethno-musical record which was financed and directed by the Secretariat for Culture of Sao Paulo City. During a couple of years the Secretariat for Culture was headed by the novelist Mario de Andrade (author of «Macunaíma»). It was also the instutional framework within which Lévi- Strauss started his career as an ethnologist.
