Ladaniva – Yasaman (CD)
Product Details
Ladaniva emerged from the Marseille music scene, a city whose port-city DNA has always made it fertile ground for exactly this kind of cultural collision. Singer Jako brings a voice rooted in Armenian diaspora traditions that stretch back generations, giving these songs an emotional weight that no amount of production polish could manufacture on its own.
French-Armenian duo Ladaniva's sophomore album, Yasaman, is half traditional, half pop, mostly Armenian and sometimes infiltrated with French. Following the band's Eurovision 2024 breakthrough, which brought them over 100M streams & millions of YouTube views, charismatic singer/songwriter Jako & multi-instrumentalist Louis Thomas return with an album that draws on influences from around the world. From traditional Balkan music to maloya, jazz and reggae, with strong roots in Armenian folklore, Ladaniva create irresistible melodies borrowed as much from tradition as from modern times. Blending Armenian folk, Balkan brass, global pop, joyful grooves & a cinematic Kusturica-style energy, Yasaman is festive & vibrant, made for warm nights.
