Wood Festival 2022
Braziers Park, Wallingford, Oxfordshire
WOOD FESTIVAL is well established as one of the most family-friendly festivals in Britain and, broadly speaking, the music tends to fall into two main categories — folk-tinged Americana or Afro-dance fusion.
Representing the latter category are five-piece WEMA, at the heart of whose sound lies a combination of acoustic Tanzanian sounds and vocals with heavy electronics.
This set was their first ever live show after two years of online collaboration.
