About
Ladaniva’s music mixes up influences from all around the world, from traditional Balkan music to maloya,
jazz and reggae, with strong roots in Armenian folk. It reflects singer Jaklin Baghdasaryan’s DNA, of
Armenian and Belarussian descent. The young woman, now in her twenties, has been living in Lille, France. This city is
also where she met Louis Thomas, a talented multi-instrumentalist who formed Ladaniva with her in late
2019.
