In the heart of quiet Somerset, Conrad Ocker, founder of African Somerset Feast’ival, has curated a beautiful fusion of Afro-Somerset culture which is beautifully represented by good food, drink and music enjoyed around the open fire!

Otto and The Mutapa Calling had the great honour of bringing live southern African marimba music to the festivities, and here are a few pictures from the gorgeous festival.
