Eurovision 2024: Armenia’s second rehearsal!
One of the two Caucasian second semi-final competitors will go up next. More precisely, Ladaniva, the representatives of Armenia in Eurovision 2024, just wrapped up their second on-stage rehearsal. On May 9, they will play the folk song “Jako” on the stage of Malmö Arena.
Who are Ladaniva?
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.
The Rehearsal
The official video for this has lots of sass and energy, and that spirit has definitely been brought to the Malmö stage, along with Jaklin’s costume and trademark plaits. There’s also an island of brightly coloured plinths in the middle of the stage, where Ladaniva’s band stand on different levels playing their instruments.
In the second half the LED wall and cube graphics kick in, with Armenian motifs and lots of chickens. The whole thing is a riot of colour and energy.
After today’s second rehearsals a recap video will be published on the official Youtube channel! Stay tuned!
The Dress Rehearsal for Armenia and the rest of Semi Final 2 is scheduled for Wednesday the 8th of May!
