THE ALI LAMU STORY
ALI LAMU was a fisherman who one day when the sea was rough and impossible for fishing came to Daniela Bateleur, a traveling photographer, asking her for a job. She told him that unfortunately she didn’t have a job but asked him if he knew where she could buy some of the old dhow sails (in Swahili called TANGA) because she always loved the material. She always looked at it as a piece of art designed by the wind, the salt of the sea water, the sun, the rain, and years of traveling over the ocean.Ali came back a few days later with a very old tanga. Daniela thought that the color was just magnificent and impossible to reproduce even if one tried because the weather and years were the master...
