This is the mother of all festivals, it is the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world. The festival is best known for its contemporary music but also features dance, comedy, theatre, circus, cabaret and many other arts. You are the journalists chosen by the organization to interview some artists in the 2009 edition.
