From 2011 onwards, the “Centre International des Musiques Nomades” take the form of a permanent body, which will plan activities dedicated to creation all year round, and organise a new festival called “Les Détours de Babel”, in place of the 38e Rugissants and the Grenoble Jazz Festival.
The emphasis is on “cross-bred” and “cross-cultural” creative initiatives, reflecting the transformations taking place in today’s society, culture and identities, and helping to build tomorrow’s “composite” imaginative worlds.
