The charming and talented Dalita was a special guest at the international Folk Motives festival organised by the EFSC (European Foundation for Support of Culture) held in Malta. Dalita represented Armenia and the Armenian culture.
The countries who took part in the festival were Armenia, Russia, Malta, Israel, Bulgaria, Latvia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and the culture of the area of Tatarstan from Russia.
An invited guest for Russia was Sofia Fisenko, who represented Russia at the 2016 Junior Eurovision Song Contest, as part of the Water Of Life Project.
Dalita’s modern costumes were courtesy of the Teryan Culure Centre in Yerevan. She performed two Armenian modern folk songs both by former Eurovision performers – Inga & Anush (2009 ESC Armenia) and Sirusho (2008 ESC Armenia). Dalita also sang three songs in the Russian language and two current English hit songs.
Dalita received a surprise to take part and represent Armenia with national costumes at the European Beauty 2017 contest during this time in Malta. Dalita won the Grand Prix and also was invited to participate at the Pierre Gardin show festival this summer in Paris!! Dalita is thinking about this possibility as her priorities lie as a singer.

Many artists at the 2017 Eurovision song contest in Kyiv, Ukraine, had their boyfriends, girlfriends, wives or husbands there. Here is Claudia Faniello of Malta with her partner.

Kelly has had success in many festivals in Malta and abroad. She was a finalist in the Summer Hit Song Contest in 2014 also with One Precious Mile.
You can see Kelly’s performances on The Entertainers below.
Milena Bianco is another young and talented singer from Malta to look out for. She has taken part in The Entertainers (Singing Challenge) competition on Net tv and performed in prestigious charity events such as Maratona Missjoni Kantanti Zeffiena.
Milena has a good tone to her voice and you can see an example of this below with her performance of All By Myself by Celine Dion and originally by Eric Carmen.
Milena’s record at just 14 years old is very impressive.

This month she was in England again taking part in a Music Theatre Workshop in the West End in London and she had great success by finishing second and third in the WAF Online Singing Competition singing All By Myself / Forever Young. She also participated in the Tom Jones and Best Of Soul show in Malta featuring some former Eurovision acts such as Chiara, Ludvig and Debbie Scerri which was organised by the Spiteri Lucas Entertainment at the Catholic Institute.
