Ladaniva is a multicultural French band based in Lille, located in North of France. Influences from all across the world are what Ladaniva combine into rhythmic paintings that tell stories of understanding and community, but also of the beauty of all the cultures of this world. 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 songs like “Vay Aman” or “Kef Chilini”, which have netted Ladaniva millions of streams across the streaming platforms within a very short time. Especially in Armenia, France and Southern Europe, Ladaniva have gained a loyal fan following over the past years and have played more than 100 shows with their live band mates.

Born in 1953 in Detroit, Michigan, Marshall Crenshaw learned to tune a guitar correctly at age ten and has been trying ever since. His first big break came in 1978 playing John Lennon in “Beatlemania”, first as an understudy in New York, then in the West Coast company followed by a national touring company. Removing himself from that situation in Feb. 1980, Marshall settled in New York City. After crossing paths with the great and legendary Alan Betrock, Marshall recorded his debut single “Something’s Gonna Happen” (for Betrock’s Shake Records label), which led to a deal with Warner Bros. His debut album, Marshall Crenshaw, was acclaimed as a masterpiece upon its release in 1982 and established him as a singular songwriter, record maker, and guitarist. The album spawned the hit single “Someday, Someway,” and other classics such as “(You’re My) Favorite Waste of Time,” “Whenever You’re On My Mind” and “Cynical Girl.” Over the course of a career that’s spanned three decades, 13 albums, Grammy and Golden Globe nominations, film and TV appearances (Buddy Holly in “La Bamba”) and thousands of performances, Marshall Crenshaw’s musical output has maintained a consistent fidelity to the qualities of artfulness, craftsmanship and passion, and his efforts have been rewarded with the devotion of a broad and remarkably loyal fan base. Along with touring around the country and the occasional recording project, other currentprojects include a documentary film in progress about legendary record producer Tom Wilson. Says Crenshaw, “This is a road that I never imagined taking before, but it’s been amazing.”“ Although he was seen as a latter day Buddy Holly at the outset, he soon proved too talented and original to be anyone but himself.” — Trouser Press
