The enthusiasm spread among the fingers of Manoukian, who danced gracefully on the piano keys and spread joy among the audience, during the ceremony, which was held under the auspices of Syriatel and organized by Zuma.

“When I enter Syria.. and from the first moment.. I feel the same when I enter my country, Lebanon.” Thus, Manoukian created a sincere family atmosphere with his fans, and singled them out with the song “Hello, my country” and told them from time to time his secrets and what was on his mind, and introduced them to his family and friends. His concerts, and he told them his stories before every song that characterized his childhood and adolescence until he became a father, and he narrated small details that he collected with his only daughter and then proceeded to sing Fairuz's song (Qumra Ya Qamra).

Manoukian entertained his fans with songs that they memorized and considered common between Lebanon and Syria and etched the path of immortality in the minds, so he started it with the song “Our Night is from Layali Al Omar” by singer Magda El Roumi, and linked it to the song “Tallo, Our Loves They Tallo,” by the great Wadih Al Safi, and a cut by the artist Zaki Nassif (My Neighbor is the Sweetest Flower) and ( Talaat, O Mahalla, its light) by Mr. Darwish and (It is not your time, Hawa) by Ghassan Saliba, and from Iraqi folklore (I have a job in the market).

Various songs belonging to different artistic generations followed, so I attended Umm Kulthum's song (One Thousand and One Nights) in an exceptional style that linked the oriental melody and contemporary music that buzzes with fast rhythms, and moved to the song (Peace be upon her, my love) and (Our date is your land, our country) by the late Melhem Barakat. , and (No one sells your place in my heart) by the artist Magda El Roumi, to the song “Wahshani Al-Dunya Bel Baladi” by singer Carole Samaha.
