O Bidú: Silêncio no Brooklin is the fifth studio album of Brazilian artist Jorge Ben. Released in 1967,^[3] it was recorded while Jorge Ben was living in Brooklin, a neighborhood of São Paulo with Erasmo Carlos. Its title is a reference to a car that Ben owned at the time and the subtitle is a joke on a neighbor that use to scream "Silence in Brooklin!" when Ben stopped his constant and loud rehearsals.^[4] In the album, Jorge Ben is backed by Jovem Guarda band The Fevers.^[3] The album marks a change from Ben's previous recording because of the constant presence of the electric guitar and its closeness to the sound of Jovem Guarda,^[3] and it is cited by Caetano Veloso as one of the main influences for the Tropicália movement.^[5]
