Kalembo Fidelis

Mishack Fidelis Kalembo is in many ways different Tinga Tinga painter. He is known for his illustrious and depictive paintings of traditional African life and villages. He is not deterred from painting on wood sheets as Tinga Tinga painters did for many years ago. But Kalembo paints in “Kamundi style” also. Maybe because both Max Kamundi and Fidelis Kalembo were born in the same village – Ndanda. (as many other painters). He started to paint as a child in Ndanda but later he moved to Bagamoyo where he paints until now. He was taught by the same teacher as Noel Kapanda or Damian Msagula – John Bella.
