Mélanzé
Publishing, music and culture for development
Mélanzé was born from our passions for discovery, travel, the arts, culture and solidarity in all its forms. Everywhere we have been, we have seen anonymous talents facing the same difficulties in getting a bit of light and the means to grow in their fields.
We have also seen how, in every part of the world we have crossed, culture touches hearts and can be a vector for positive transformation, extraordinary human adventures and communion between peoples.
Three branches
Publishing
A publishing cabin dedicated to literature, research, essays and other forms of written creation. Publisher of the novel Que la terre nous soit légère.
Music
Music label with a mobile recording studio (the BBZU project). Production of local artists from Kenya to Senegal.
Culture & development
Carrying out culture-for-development projects in partnership with international organisations and NGOs.
Why Mélanzé
The name comes from Reunionese Creole. We adopted it because, like that island we are not from, we believe in blending rather than in the walls that separate us. We reject boxes, partitions, categories and reductive labels.
Mélanzé is the image of its founders: jack-of-all-trades, messy, without a career plan, just for the pleasure and the sharing.
