During the performance, she performed a selection of her old and new songs, including "I Love Your Love", "I Hated You", and "Oh Nights", in addition to songs from her new album, "My Heart is at Ease", such as "Sorry", "Hawa Hawa", and "My Heart is at Ease", amidst great interaction from the audience.

The ceremony featured dance performances by her band, marking her first collaboration with an Italian director and a world-class French technical team, adding a distinctive visual flair to the stage.

Amidst the great joy in Carthage and the sincere sadness in Beirut, Latifa expressed the depth of her human and artistic connection to her fans and to the icons who influenced her artistic journey, affirming that Ziad Rahbani will remain alive through his art in our hearts and memories.
