🇦🇲 Armenia - LADANIVA - "Jako"

LADANIVA is made up of Armenian vocalist Jaklin Baghdasaryan and French multi-instrumentalist Louis Thomas.

From traditional Balkan melodies to the rhythms of maloya, jazz and reggae, the duo's songs have been said to transcend borders, blending traditional Armenian tunes with inspirations drawn from their extensive travels across Latin America, Africa and Réunion Island.

Founded in 2019, Ladaniva initially gained viral acclaim with their hit song Vay Aman (2020), which showcased their fresh style and innovative approach to world music.

The group released their eponymous debut album under the French label PIAS in 2023.

Ladaniva - Jako 2023

"Jako" is a song by French-Armenian world music duo Ladaniva. The song was originally released on 29 September 2023 on the duo's debut self-titled album as a track, and was written by Audrey Leclercq, Jaklin Baghdasaryan, and Louis Thomas. It represented Armenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, where it placed in 8th at the grand final with 183 points.

The title of the song was inspired by band member Jaklin Baghdasaryan's nickname. The song was described as an account of Baghdasaryan's childhood and the subsequent feeling of society forcing her to conform relating to clothing and her behaviour. She both criticizes and challenges it, stating that she instead wants people to find their "real, wild, unapologetic selves".

"Jako" receieved a total of 71,1% yes votes!
