IT would have made Edward Said Tingatinga both proud and glad to know that the traditional African tribal art he gave a fresh lease of life to will be traveling to China this month. Tingatinga, which started as a tribal art used by Tanzanians to brighten up their walls, received a boost in the late 1960s when Edward Said Tingatinga began painting in the style in Dares Salaam, beginning an art movement. Today, the school of indigenous painting has thousands of artists, not just in Tanzania but also in Kenya and the neighboring East African countries and is one of the most popular East African souvenir arts as well.
