Resumo: The Kwango River has long been viewed as the limit of the transatlantictraders’ access to the main sources of slaves in the interior of Angola,the principal region of slave embarkation to the Americas. However, noestimates of the size and distribution of this huge migration exist. Thisarticle examines records of liberated Africans from Cuba and Sierra Leoneavailable on the African Origins Portal to estimate how many slaves camefrom that particular region in the nineteenth century as well as theirethnolinguistic distribution. It shows that about 21 percent of the slavesleaving Angola in that period came from beyond the Kwango, with themajority coming from among the Luba, Kanyok, and Swahili speakingpeoples. The article also analyzes the causes of this migration, whichhelped shape the African Diaspora to the Americas, especially to Brazil andCuba.
