East Africa’s Collective Talent

Tinga Tinga – African folk tales soon to find a wider audience.

The simple African folk tales that your grand-ma or grand-pa told you a long time ago as a child are now being animated and produced in East-Africa for BBC Channel CBeebies in the UK and Disney’s Playhouse channel in the US. While in Kenya early last spring I got to see an episode of the animation which I thought was fantastic. The character drawings are a contribution of a few artists mainly in Tanzania and the animation Art Direction lead by Kwame Nyongo.
With this being an extended production timeline (started late 2007) its set to launch sometime this December.
