An extraordinary event in Grenoble, the Festival des 38e Rugissants (Festival of the 38 Roars, roughly translated) celebrates nomadic music at venues around the city. Each year, a different theme or guest country is chosen to lead the festivities.
The event is organised by the Musée de Grenoble and each year there is an incredible diversity of performers, from Taiwanese aboriginals to globe-trotting musicologists who have used their archives to mix together sound installations. The 2009 programme focuses on the relationship between music and poetry.
The festival website publishes full details of this year's programme as soon as they are available.
