Peter Kalulu

Peter Kalulu

Champion Peter Kalulu is born in Mosambique, the exact year is not known. In 1959 he moved to Tanga in Northern Tanzania. He says that he studied the primary school in Dar es Salaam. There he started to carve also. But he didn´t join Nyumba ya Sanaa (House of Culture), on the other hand he relied on himself and is quite unknown for public. Maybe because his main business partner comes from China (Professor Lee) and much of his work is exported to China. In the beginning of his carrier he joined different art groups in Mbagala, part of Dar es Salaam. Some of these groups were “Banda la tatu”,  “Twende pammoja”  or “Ngapa”. He carves very big sculptures, 4-5 meters long which is maybe the highest in East Africa
