Abstract
Understanding language and culture as marks of Afro-diasporic encounters, this article brings together reflections from geographically distant places but which maintain historical similarities: Mozambique, on the African continent and, in Brazil, the state of Espírito Santo. These are data from two ongoing master's research studies, one on Mozambique, which focuses on educational policies for the dissemination of bilingual education (Bantu and Portuguese languages) and the other on the tradition of Ticumbi (Baile de Congo) in the state of Espírito Santo and his Afrodiasporic marks. Through the bibliographical review, the studies captured in the surveys highlight the struggle for the preservation and expansion of Bantu languages in Mozambican formal education and the cultural resistance of Ticumbi as an Afro-Brazilian tradition.
