A crowd of birds fills every inch of the canvas, beaks and wings overlapping against a deep green ground. Painted in the Tingatinga style, which took shape in Dar es Salaam in the 1960s, each bird is built from flat, vivid colour: white and sky-blue bodies, black wings, beaks flaring in red and yellow, round eyes ringed in red and yellow like small suns. On the left, a white bird spreads its patterned tail like a fan, while clusters of red and yellow dots scatter between the birds like blossoms or seeds.

The title speaks plainly, a Tinga Tinga of birds, ndege being the Kiswahili word for bird. The effect is anything but plain. Selemani Issa Omari turns repetition into rhythm, and the canvas seems to ring with the chatter of a flock that has just landed and is about to rise again.
