Ahwak · أهواك
Written by Abdel Wahab and made immortal by Abdel Halim Hafez - the great Egyptian singer whose voice defined Arabic romantic song for a generation. Nikotine's live rendition builds on the arrangement of Elyanna.
Performed in Toronto, 2026.
Li Beirut · ليبيروت
Originally written by the Rahbani brothers and made iconic by Fairuz, this is song is a love letter to an eternal city and its suffering under the bombs. Nikotine's live version, performed in the shadow of the 2025 assault on Lebanon, carries pain. Funds from this show were all donated directly to Beirut relief efforts.
Live from Cabaret: The Dancing Djinn, Toronto, 2025.
Aatini El Nay · أعطني الناي وغنِّ
A setting of the poet Khalil Gibran's words to music by the Rahbani brothers, sung originally by Fairuz. A hymn about longing, nature, and the flute as the voice of the soul.
Performed in Toronto, 2026.
