This bilingual dictionary is a reliable reference of specialised content: ideal for scholars of linguistics, religious studies, and anyone interested in the cultural, spiritual, and linguistic influences between Yorùbá and Brazilian Portuguese.

It was conceived, compiled, and edited with a grounded commitment to decolonial epistemic justice as a tool of resistance against asymmetrical definitions, cultural erasure, and the violence of unequal semantic valuation, fostering dialogue, mutual respect, and a cooperative stance among people committed to the dissemination of African and Afro-diasporic knowledge.

Síkírù Sàlámì – Bàbá King

Born in Abẹ́òkúta, Nigeria, Bàbá King has served as a bàbálórìṣà for more than forty years and is widely recognised as a leading figure in the dissemination of Yorùbá religious traditions and culture across Africa, Brazil, and Europe. He holds a doctorate in Social Sciences from the University of São Paulo, where he also taught Yorùbá Language and Culture, and founded the Oduduwa Cultural Centre. The author of seminal works on Yorùbá tradition, he has devoted decades to the research and documentation of forms of knowledge previously transmitted exclusively through oral tradition.

His research focuses on the traditional religion and oral tradition of the Yorùbá people, including medical, magical, and pharmacological practices, as well as conceptions of personhood. He also works in the fields of African and Afro-Brazilian religions, religious identity, coloniality, and decoloniality.

Ìdòwú Àlí 

Born in Okeigbo, Nigeria, into a family devoted to the traditional worship of the òrìṣà, he is a researcher of Yorùbá culture, traditional religion, and oral tradition. He moved to Brazil in his youth to study Portuguese and subsequently obtained a degree in Accounting Sciences from the Fluminense Federal University, where he also taught the Yorùbá language. He currently resides in Nigeria.
