Ladaniva is a multicultural French band based in Lille, located in North of France. They perform
in world music genre, but the influence of the traditional Armenian folk music is extensively
reflected in their musical art. The Ladaniva band presents original interpretations of Armenian
folk songs. The band’s unique repertoire is inspired by influences from all across the world with
strong roots in Armenian folk music. Zhaklin Baghdasaryan from Armenia, and Louis Thomas
from a family of French musicians, both bring an enormous wealth of experience to this project.
It’s precisely this diversity that flows through Armenian folk style songs like “Vay Aman” or
“Kef Chilini”, which have netted Ladaniva millions of streams across the streaming platforms
within a very short period of time. Ladaniva has gained a loyal fan following over the past years,
especially in Armenia, France and Southern Europe. Ladaniva will be in The United States for
the first-time touring in Los Angeles and Fresno.
