Brush Strokes of a Tinga Tinga Master
Brush Strokes of a Tinga Tinga Master
Step into the vibrant world of Tinga Tinga — a bold, colorful, and uniquely Tanzanian art form. In this short film by Moses Kyungai, we meet Matei Sabas, a contemporary master who carries the torch of this tradition deep in the jungle outside Moshi, Tanzania.
Through detailed brushwork and imaginative storytelling, Matei honors the lineage of Tinga Tinga while infusing it with his own spirit and vision.

My name is Moses Jonathan Kyungai. I am an autodidact filmmaker from Tanzania. I’ve been creating documentary films since 2020. My business model focuses on small- to mid-scale productions, where clients hire me to handle most or all aspects of the production process: from filming, lighting, site management, and sound recording to video and sound editing, color grading, and motion graphics design. I have professional equipment to handle each of these tasks. My biggest selling point is flexibility and professional reliability. You can count on me to travel to any destination and get the job done for you.
