Radio Groovalizacion c'est une programmation musicale 24h/24 qui met en avant les dernières tendances des musiques urbaines combinées à leurs racines différentes racines locaux afro-latines, méditerranéens, orientaux... Les émissions de Groovalizacion sont essentiellement produites en 4 langues : espagnol, français, portugais et anglais. Un collectif de journalistes musicaux et de DJ's nomades répartis dans différents pays de la planète (notamment d'Europe et d'Amérique Latine) qui assurent la diversité géographique et l'éclectisme de la programmation musicale.

Les Evenements
Groovalizacion est également spécialisé dans la programmation et la production d'évènements musicaux. De l'organisation de concerts ou de soirées clubs à la programmation de festivals, l'équipe de Groovalizacion a travaillé en Irlande, en France, en Espagne, en Belgique, en Italie, en Allemagne, au Portugal, au Brésil, en Hollande, au Mali, au Maroc, en Turquie et en Argentine. 

Groovalizacion est né à Valence (Espagne) en 2007 de la volonté d'ouvrir une porte aux sons de l’avant-garde musicale du monde entier et de créer un espace où se côtoient joyeusement la tradition et les inventions contemporaines. Une approche moderne et ouverte sur le monde et ses fusions culturelles, sur le métissage et l'expérimentation. La radio a commencé à émettre en Novembre 2008 grâce à la collaboration via internet entre DJ iZem à Buenos Aires et DJ Cucurucho à Lisbonne. Rapidement le projet s'est étendu à d'autres villes et continents, se convertissant en un véritable confluent de cultures, en un laboratoire de la musique comme lieu de rencontre et d’échange festif.

Se si guardasse dall’alto il fosso che circonda la Fortezza Nuova di Livorno si vedrebbe vagamente l’immagine di un cuore, infatti è proprio da lì che che nasciamo, sonorità provenienti da mondi culturali differenti che si interfacciano in uno dei quartieri più antichi di Livorno che ieri come oggi vede passare volti di ogni forma e colore. Il gruppo nasce dall’esigenza di formare un orchestrina Dub; dapprima infatti Giancarlo e Roly, le vere anime Dub del gruppo, chiamano Aurora per coinvolgerla in questo progetto musicale, che tuttavia dopo il cambio di varie pelli e componenti che si sono susseguiti nel corso del primo anno, hanno dato vita all’attuale progetto. In genere soprattutto nei mesi estivi proviamo a porte aperte il martedì ed il giovedì, e ci piace avere ospiti nella nostra cantina - sala prove in Scali delle cantine accanto alla Deriva Music club.
