Led by the captivating voice of Jaklin Baghdasaryan and French multi-instrumentalist Louis Thomas, Ladaniva creates a richly diverse world music sound inspired by the cultures and sounds encountered on their travels. Blending Armenian traditions with Balkan rhythms, maloya and reggae, the band transcends folklore to forge a unique, free-spirited and explosive musical identity.
Their success includes “Kef Chilini”, a festive anthem within the Armenian diaspora with over 26 million YouTube views, “Shakar”, their zesty pop hit, and “Jako”, which reached tens of millions of viewers at Eurovision 2024, where Ladaniva represented Armenia. The band returns with a vibrant, ambitious second album, bridging reimagined traditions and contemporary sounds.
