Manie Musicale Collaborative

Manie Musicale Collaborative is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that works to promote the French language and culture through music.  Each year, thousands of students worldwide participate in this event, modeled after the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament.  Students fill out brackets and vote to decide which of 16 songs from the French-speaking world will win the competition.  Your charitable donation helps us to cover expenses, provide prizes, and host special events. Thank you for supporting us … merci beaucoup!

We are delighted to be a platinum sponsor for Manie Musicale for 2025. The efforts for inclusion of a diverse set of artists is really appreciated. You bring a lot of smiles to the French language classrooms around the world with your efforts. It was an honor to travel with some of the Manie Musicale leadership in Senegal, singing and dancing our way through the country, whether on the bus, or in the recording studio of hip-hop artists Zeinixx, the Matador and Âme Flow. Here's to the joy that music and travel bring to our lives! Ñoo ko bokk! On est ensemble!

I am retiring this year, after 33 years - I am NOT musical- taking the leap to doing MM has been the best decision! Merci! (And I mean- blindly leapt / jumped in- both feet- so happy to filter the massive amounts of material created by all the wonderful and sharing educators. My students’ lives will forever be enhanced from this experience. Whoohoo! I wish I was braver sooner. This is year two for me.)
