Mangroove Music is a label with a social and environmental impact that uses music to meet two challenges :
To do this, we mix arts, sciences, and spirituality to provide a space for artists to think of the world. We produce it in all musical styles to reach as many people as possible.
« To the question can music move the lines? My answer is YES. Music brings people together, allows a communion, so if people listen to the music we propose and suddenly are immersed in the same unity, it's a win-win! »
We all live on a planet that is beautiful, strong, and fragile. Beautiful, we all know that. We just have to take the time to look at it. Strong, because it feeds billions of living beings, including humans. Fragile, because the biosphere is a set of ecosystems based on a precarious balance. As Youssoupha rightly says in a song we are producing, “we are all alive at the same time”.
This project was born in the Mangrove in the Brazilian Nordeste in Icapui, during a trip of its founder, Olivier Covo. The Mangrove is an ecosystem representing 1% of tropical forests. It is a link between land and sea and an exceptional space of biodiversity. This forest, which fixes the land by the sea and protects the coast from the sea winds, is a magnificent carbon sink. It is also a space that gives life to many endigeneous peoples.
We have choosen this name because the Mangrove is a Totem Tree and “Mangroove” with the two O’s because drive this project we’ll need groove!
« Mangroove Music is music with positive causes. If I had to complete it, I would say Music with a positive cause. »

We build narratives from music. Each narrative is part of a complete editorial package.
Building powerful and engaging imaginaries through music is our belief.
« In the seed of a tree, there is a whole forest. In each narrative we build, there is a seed that allows us to shatter imaginations. »

Mangroove Music brings together industry professionals, entrepreneurs, scientists, and artists committed to the same vision. We have chosen to unite our skills and networks to put music at the service of concrete causes that we consider essential.
This commitment is reflected in the production of new musical works, in collaboration with associations working in the field. Each musical production aims to contribute to a narrative about a cause, with a social or environmental impact, to raise awareness among its audience and finance an action serving this cause. These narratives are about various causes such as forests, oceans, biodiversity, environment, climate, inclusion, feminism…
Food for thoughts
This ecosystem is a real space for new encounters and enriching exchanges so that artists can think about our world in metamorphosis. It is a space that is inspired by the diversity of talents – scientists, researchers, experts, entrepreneurs, ecologists, shamans, caciques – committed to a common vision.
« We are all convinced that it is by sharing the beautiful, the sensitive and the fragile that we will be able to plant reality in people's hearts. »
Mangroove Music is committed to the conservation of biodiversity and to all issues that affect society through concrete actions. We focus on questioning our connection to nature and our place in the biosphere.
We use music to serve causes to spread new narratives within our human societies and encourage everyone to get involved wherever necessary.
Mangroove Music also takes concrete action in the field by financing associations validated by the scientific committees of our partners and our project evaluation committee.
The music we produce funds all the causes we support.
Our current focus is on ecology, forest ecosystems and on endigeneous peoples.
