Deleyaman is comprised of Aret Madilian, Beatrice Valantin, Gerard Madilian Mia Bjorlingsson and Ara Duzian who has recently joined the line-up. The band was formed in Normandy, France in 2000 by Aret Madilian, the American member of the band born in Istanbul, who grew up in Los Angeles and who now resides in France. A former member of a band from the L.A. post-punk scene whose debut album was recorded and produced by Spot, the engineer behind the influential punk label SST records (Black Flag, Minutemen, Hüsker Dü, Sonic Youth). The four other band members are also of different nationalities - American, French, Swedish and Armenian. The band has released four studio albums to date while performing live since 2002. A most unusual series of gigs were performed back in 2007 when Deleyaman traveled to a post-Soviet Armenia touring through rural villages across the country including a concert in the war stricken region of Karabagh. The band has also performed extensively in France and the U.S., including a seven date California tour in 2008. In 2009 Equilibrium Music became the official European label of the band under exclusive license from TTO records, the Los Angeles based indie label of Deleyaman.
Deleyaman's music is difficult to pigeon hole. It has been described as darkwave, ethereal, gothic, alternative, world or folk while their work has been compared to some notable artists or bands that have come before. Though the band understands the inevitable need for classifications and comparisons, they believe this to be a rather subjective process and prefer not to categorize their music into a single genre.

How lovely, two new events. The concerts in Paris make me want to move there ;) Have an amazing time with both events. Someday, maybe nyc? or I will fly over to France. Best to all gwyneth
Thanks, you guys are great. I grew up with those early 4AD bands especially Dead Can Dance, so your music is very nostalgic for me. Lovely voices too. Cheers.
We really hope to see and hear you in Nijmegen in june! My husband (beatevil) is busy with organising everything! It is really great to have a husband who has the same taste in music and is able to organise festivals with beatiful music. We discovered your music by the guys from Equilibrium and we both are loving it!
Quel délice, plaisir de vous revoir enfin sur scène et hors de la scène.
Je fus agréablement surprise par vos nouvelles compositions qui sont différentes des autres.
J'espère vous revoir bientôt plus longuement après un de vos fantastiques concerts qui sont pour moi plus qu'un voyage, de l'air pur dans ma tête, des images et des sensations exceptionnelles.
That sounds like a magical evening for sure. :) Hope you and yours are all well and happy. The littlest is turning one next week. Time does fly. xo gwyneth
