On her artistic tour in Morocco, the committed Lebanese singer Jahida Wehbe confirmed that she is working hard in her search for poems that contain the characteristics of humanity and existentialism and for
\"songs to live, with the elements of her immortality.\"
Wehbe \'s tour included the cities of Essaouira, Safi and Azemmour (west of Morocco). On her tour she stated she was \"looking for texts that occupies all my thoughts because I am not free until I sing them. It is not associated with particular things but it is important that the texts contain characteristics of humanity, existentialism, heterogeneity, and land and human issues.\"

Jahida Wehbe stated that \"The serious artistic choices in the Arab scene lives in a cycle of isolation, I regrets that the institutions which are supposed to support good art are absent, leaving the field empty for companies that market consumer art.\" However, she has no doubts over her path \"I did not choose this serious pattern but it chose me. I cannot perform art that I am not convinced with, especially since I grew up on stanzas and classical art in the East and West.\"
For this artist, nowadays songs is a bustle of art that makes an unhealthy environment.\"It is necessary to insist on the provision of good in order to preserve our cultural identity in times of sweeping globalization, Jahida talks about the \"a generation whose artistic taste is violated and taken to the area of ??vulgarity and mediocrity.

She puts this under the title of soul-search, for her art is that “beautiful area remaining that gives me the possibility to breathe clean air away from the noise that surrounds our lives. Moving from artistic field to another makes me meet myself in the past and the future. Then I would like to share the moment with others, invite them to travel and the hope in life and beauty. \"
The reason for the singer’s non-participation in art projects with the committed singing pole in Lebanon Marcel Khalife, Jahida Wehbe explains in an exclusive interview, “that the presence of Marcel most of the time outside Lebanon hindered the implementation of these projects, but she confirms that the intention exists to perform a serious & special work with the this friend \"

The book will be a unique literary experience, in the virtual world of Facebook, to build the pillars of the story that belongs to this world, between Lebanese girl and a young Moroccan man, distance came between them and they were brought in the space of Facebook relationship love roaming the constraints of time and space.
Jahida says, writing was always present even when she was bsy, until she felt that the time has come to launch a literary text to the public, new in form and context.
