| Ladaniva |
Ladaniva is a French Armenian world
music group originally from Lille (France).
Ladaniva
was formed in 2019 in Lille as a result of the collaboration between
singer Jaklin Baghdasaryan and multi-instrumentalist Louis
Thomas.
Baghdasaryan, born in 1997 in Yeghegnadzor,
Armenia, grew up in Minsk, Belarus, before emigrating to France with her mother
in 2014. She has been singing since her early childhood and, based in
Tourcoing, enrolled at the Conservatoire de Lille.
Thomas, born in 1987 in Lille and an
accomplished jazz musician from a family of musicians, also attended the
conservatory. One evening in 2018, they met by chance during a jam session in a
music bar in Vieux-Lille, l'Intervalle. Their musical style is inspired by
music from around the world, particularly traditional Balkan music, maloya and
Armenian folklore.
Ladaniva's
repertoire is inspired on one hand by traditional songs from Armenia, Russia,
Romania and the Balkans, and on the other hand by music from Latin America,
Africa and Reunion Island.
