Abstract

The aim of this paper is to tell the story of the presence of Candomblé in Mato Grosso do Sul. Based on the analysis of narratives of oral expressions, established in a network of knowledge within the field of Oral History, this research paper analyzed many life stories of pais e mães de santo of this religion in this state, which enabled us to understand the formation of a genealogy of the filhos de santo, which helped to rebuild the trajectory of the formation of this Candomblé.Through fieldwork in two major cities - Campo Grande and Corumbá it was possible to establish a starting point for telling this story,as well as, present some particularities of the religious experiences of this povo de santo, and to demonstrate the articulation at national level these religious spaces, also called barracões or terreiros, have. The Candomblé of MS dialogues with several brazilian states, from São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Pernambuco and to the African continent, demonstrating that its level of integration and articulation allows a large involvement in the african-brazilian culture.
