DelaDap (also known as !DelaDap and !deladap; stylized as DELADAP) is an Austrian electro swing,[7] pop,[8] and EDM[9] band belonging to Stani Vana. Initially, Vana worked with international musicians from the Czech Republic, Serbia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Russia; the idea was to combine Roma music with jazz, electronic music, and pop music.[10][11]

History

The band was founded in 2004[12] by Stani Vana, in Vienna.[7] The name "DelaDap" comes from Romani, and translates to "give me the beat" or "give me the rhythm".[10][13] Their music is influenced by the Balkans.[4][5] Their second album, Dela Paji, was released in 2006,[14] with various guest musicians from Central and Eastern Europe contributing their individual styles.[15] Czech-born saxophonist and producer Philip Noha from Cologne edited the Slavic traditional "Goldregen" together with Stani Vana.[16]

In 2012, DelaDap, now with singer Melinda Stoika, was accepted into the Austrian national preliminary rounds for the Eurovision Song Contest in Baku, with the song Crazy Swing. When a cell phone video of a DJ set showed the song played before the claimed earliest release date of 2011,[17] the track was disqualified.[18][10] They re-entered the competition with the song Don't Turn Around.[19][20] DelaDap also applied to represent Austria in 2022.[21]

In the same year, the single Don't Turn Around was number 67 in the Austrian charts.[22] The album I Know What You Want peaked at 42,[23] and in 2014, the album This is Deladap was ranked 41.[24]

DelaDap's fourth album I Know What You Want was nominated for the Austrian Amadeus Awards in 2012 and 2013.[8][25]

In 2014, for the song Listen Up, musicians from the Austrian music club Erla collaborated with DelaDap.[26] Melinda Stoika was the singer for the band[4] until 2013, when the Viennese singer Tania Saedi became the successor to Stoika until 2014.[5][6] Yola B was henceforth the singer.[27]

In 2022, the album Play was released in Japan, with new versions of the songs in Japanese.[28][29]

Genre

The band started off being inspired by Balkan music, and the music has been described as "gypsy" in style.[30][31] DelaDap gradually moved away from the Balkan genre,[13][32] and by 2016 had left it.[30] They now play in the swing and EDM genres.[33] Stani Vana explained the shift as the Balkan genre being too taxing on the band.[30]
