Tinga Tinga is an art form now centered on the island of Zanzibar, pioneered on the mainland of Tanzania by a farm boy whose name was Said Tinga Tinga. Tinga Tinga art gets its unique and vibrant style from the magnificent natural surroundings of Africa. A striking feature in most of these paintings is the Impressionistic way the artists depict the animals of the Eastern coast in bright colors. These women are selling Tinga Tinga paintings in the very social atmosphere of an open market place in Zanzibar.
