Otto And The Mutapa Caling at Timber Festival

Otto and The Mutapa Calling had the immense pleasure of sharing our music at Timer Festival in Leicestershire! Timber is a quirky weekend festival of celebration, reflection and debate held in the National Forest. Timber invites you to stand up and be counted as we rethink our relationship with trees and forests. The festival invites all to join new thinkers as they challenge one another to re-examine our relationship with the world. It is an opportunity to gather with artists, musicians and writers, as they respond and react to the forest in bold and exhilarating ways. Activists and makers will invite you to join them in a joyous celebration of nature whilst the rebels and the unexpected from the worlds of music, art, performance and well-being will play, provoke and inspire as we change the world.

Here are some pictures and videos from the festival.
