The two vocalists , Anael Khalifa and Dina Samteh ' s amazing voices brings listeners to tears during their performances . Here are their thoughts about being on stage and using their voice to inspire change while bringing to the forefront of people ’ s minds the fact that having a disability should not hinder you from pursuing your passion .
Anael : The Shalva Band is like a family to me . It is my second home . We are together a lot and being a member of the Shalva Band is like being a member of a family- with all of the emotions that it entails .
I love music and it is therapeutic for me ; I feel that it protects me and saves me .
When I stand on stage in front of a large audience , my goal is to make people enjoy music and to be moved . If people see in me a meaningful message or a source of inspiration , I consider that to be very valuable .
Dinah : The Shalva Band is the center of my world . The band gives me lots of confidence , good friends , and family .
I really enjoy music because music allows me to experience different worlds , to be exposed , to be moved .
When I am standing on a stage before so many people I feel a very personal sense of pride . Everyone can achieve if he wills it- it ’ s not just a cliché . Everything is possible . This is exactly what happened to the Shalva Band .
The Shalva Band performs by invitation on stages across Israel and around the world . All of their performances are memorable but one in particular profoundly touched the hearts of listeners all over the world - their soulful , emotionally-stirring , unforgettable
performance of A Million Dreams at Eurovision 2019 .
