Eden Ben Zaken

Musician

Over the summer, Israeli vocalist Eden Ben Zaken joined Christina Aguilera on stage for a special duet at the American singer's concert in Israel. The pair sang Aguilera's original song "Hurt." Ben Zaken's music career took off after she performed on the televised singing competition "The X Factor" in Israel almost a decade ago at the age of 19, and she auditioned for the show by performing "Hurt." Ben Zaken declared herself "excited about the collaboration with Christina Aguilera, one of the greatest singers in the world." More than 14,000 people turned out to the Rishon Lezion Live Park for the concert, which saw Aguilera greet the crowd by saying, "Shalom, this is my very first time here and I'm so excited."
