Armenia - Ladaniva - Jako

8 - 183 pts / 3 - 137 pts in semi 2
Duo Ladaniva sang and played for Armenia in Malmö.
Ladaniva are Jaklin (Zahklin) Baghdasaryan and Louis Thomas.

Their song Jako is written by the duo themselves with Audrey Leclerc.

2023 album Ladaniva
The original version of Jako can be found on the selftitled Ladaniva album released last year on September 29.
The album is available on CD and LP as well as digital.
Both are available through the PIAS webshop but also the likes of Fnac, Amazon, Bol, JPC etc.
And maybe even your local record store
CD: Jiguli/PIAS PIASLL208CD
LP: Jiguli/PIAS PIASLL208LP (Yellow vinyl)

A digital deluxe version of the album called Ladaniva (Postcards) has some bonus tracks.
Here the original Jako is replaced with the ESC version.

Jako was released as a Youtube audio on July 9, which is not according to the EBU rules. But last year's "borrowed" lyrics were no problem so I guess they'll get away with this as well.

Jako - Ladaniva in Armenian script:  Երգ - Լադանիվա

Versions
Jako - ESC version
Official Malmö album
Jako - original album version
- LP/CD Ladaniva, 
Jako - karaoke
- Official digital karaoke album
