Our committed artists

Paced by the sounds of sperm whales, whales and the seabed collected by La Sorbonne’s bioacoustics center, “La Folie des Hommes” takes us right up close to the fight against the whalers, and the heartbreaking story that linked Paul Watson to the whales.

Paul Watson, born in 1950, is a Canadian environmentalist and long-time marine activist. Co-founder of Greenpeace, he went on to found Sea Shepherd and the Paul Watson Foundation to defend the oceans. For decades, he has fought against illegal fishing and the hunting of cetaceans. A passionate sailor and author, he leads campaigns around the world to uphold the laws of the sea. His commitment has inspired generations of environmental activists. Today, Paul Watson is an emblematic figure of marine protection, who has inspired generations of environmentalists.

Delaurentis collaborates with Deep Forest on Deep océan, a three-part musical piece in which the artists converse with sperm whales.

A multi-talented artist, she sings, produces, composes, writes and performs. 

With a stage name borrowed from film producer Dino De Laurentiis, her inspirations are at once electronic, contemporary and cinematic. Her voice is the main character in her sound films. This year, she is preparing a new album with an immersive 360 live performance in partnership with Radio France. Naturally, she agreed to join us to share her style.

Youssoupha collaborates with Oumou Sangaré to create Tous Vivants, an emotional tale of cooperation between living beings on the planet.

French of Congolese origin, his childhood was marked by the dictatorship that disrupted his country. A lover of words, he began putting them to music as soon as he arrived in France, creating the group Frères Lumières. But it was through his solo career that he finally established himself as the emblematic figure and lyricist-king of French rap.

Involved in numerous associations, Youssoupha has lent his time and voice to countless causes and events, notably on the subject of youth inequality. 

Today, he has decided to join forces with Mangroove Music, to help spread the message of inequality through his words and the timbre of his voice.

An exceptional drummer, songwriter, lyricist and performer, he has accompanied the greatest French and international stars.

Classically trained in piano and drums, Manu was destined for a great career as a percussionist from an early age.                       A Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, he has received numerous musical awards throughout his career. He also composed the soundtrack for the film “Un indien dans la ville”, a cult comedy of the 1990s.

In terms of commitment, he has given one charity concert after another throughout his career. He decided to get involved with Mangroove Music, becoming a sponsor and associate of the label.

Fakear is one of the leaders of today’s electronic music scene. 

A native of Caen, he grew up in a musical family and soon learned to play the saxophone and guitar. A member of a rock band during his high school years, he eventually switched to electronic music. 

Since 2013, he has been involved in a series of projects and tours. His commitment to the planet led him to terminate his contract with a major record company after they failed to respect his commitment to eco-responsible, community-based and local merchandising. Also a member of the Musical Declares Emergency movement, it’s only natural that Fakear should join Mangroove Music, to represent a generation aware of the issues facing our society.

A legendary voice on the contemporary French music scene, Gaëtan brilliantly juggles his solo career with his group Louise Attaque. The results speak for themselves: 7 Victoires de la Musique and 5 million records sold. 

Since the start of his career, he has given numerous charity concerts in support of various causes. It was with his guitar and his smile that he came to compose and lend his voice to support the Mangroove project.
