Résumé anglais This text is a study of social history on the memory of Brazilian congadeiros and on the material culture of some populational groups of the Democratic Republic of Congo. He proposes to understand the slave condition in the Minas Gerais (Brazil) in the nineteenth century by means of oral history instrumental. The researcher initially conducted interviews with followers of the Congado, an Afro-Catholic cultural. After, with apport the literature about theme, the researcher went to the Royal Museum of Central Africa to collect images representing ethnographic objects and dances of some populational groups of the DRC. In a second phase of the field, these images were shown to the congadeiros so that they could reflect with the researcher on the relations between these dances and the material culture of Congado. Thus, the history of congadeiros in Minas Gerais reconstructs the connections among the populations in central Africa, the slaves in Brazil, Kingdom Kongo in Africa and Kingdom Congo in Brazil.
