This work establishes the hypothesis of the gang scene of the D.F./Entorno producing characteristic and peculiar elements to it. To understand the quadrilha phenomenon, memorial accounts of the quadrilha makers were collected, locating their modes, processes, dynamics of creation to consider whether epistemes arise from them. The history of the emergence of the June quadrilhas of the Federal District and Entorno is merged, mixed with the constitution of the satellite cities where both transgressed the modernist plans planned for the federal capital. As a person born in this district territory, I situate the paths that directed my road to the local quadrilha universe, aligning interdisciplinary dialogues, as advocated by ethnocenology, towards understanding the potent quadrilha scene and its aesthetics. Dialectics are established that punctuate the recognition of the quadrilheiros coexistences erected in the tension between state discourses, clerics who forge memories, cultures and identities. In this work, therefore, echo several places of speech, times, stories and knowledge. It is based on an alternation of voices between everyone involved in the research, including between the researcher and the quadrilheira I became.
