The article has the objective to present a frame about the formation of the International Folklore Group Os Gauchos, more specifically its first configuration. Cultural history and oral history were the theoretical and methodological framework used. We collected testimonies with group members and documents. The group was created in 1959, in the city of Porto Alegre, and works with projection folk dance. Some factors of Porto Alegre’s cultural context, trough obtained data, were crucial for the emergence of such a group, especially: the strong presence in the city of Gaucho Traditions Centers and dance schools; the event of the Pan American Women’s Bureau; the inauguration of the local television station; and the acceptance and availability of people to join the group.
