Latifa has more than ten albums including various styles and different Arabic dialects. She was one of the first Arab artists who filmed their music videos in the Cinema-Clip style.

Its worth mentioning that Latifa believes every artist must interact with the issues of their nation. As for herself she considers the Arab World will always have a special place in her heart, the reason why we see her overwhelmed by the issues of the suffering of nations from Palestine to Iraq, and threatened from Syria to Lebanon reaching Darfore. For Latifa, the Palestinian and the Iraqi cause are her greatest concern and the reason for her tears to shed. But she never stood speechless as she had many works that support speaks of the people and their problems, making sure the innocent people voice is heard.

Latifa decided to donate a big portion of her concerts, and any of her works income to the establishment, which will be joining a number of notable and famous stars and important public figure names that will be announced in the near future.
ولدت لطيفة بين بساتين الياسمين والمشموم التونسي، في
بيت مثل كل البيوت التونسية أبيض اللون، فاختزنت هدا اللون ونشرته، فهي
محبة للوضوح وكارهة للأقنعة، تعشق تراب الوطن الممزوج بالمطر، حين تسمع
صوتها تشعر بحنين لزمن جميل مضى، وترى في صوتها قوة وسط انكسارات
الحاضر، وتجد به أملا لتحيا في غد أجمل. منذ بداية مشوارها الفني لم
تتعامل إلا مع الكبار الذين وثقوا بمدى موهبتها ومدى التزامها الإنساني
والفني، واستمرت على هذا النهج حيث لا تقدم عملاً إلا ويكون بتوقيع
واحد من أكبر الأسماء في الوطن العربي والعالم، ومن الشعراء الكبار
الذين تعاملت معهم مع حفظ الألقاب: عبد الوهاب محمد، نزار قباني، ومن
الملحنين عمار بليغ حمدي، عمار الشريعي، صلاح الشرنوبي، كاظم الساهر
وحالياً تحضر لعمل هام من ألحان زياد الرحباني. في رصيدها عشرات
الألبومات الغنائية، تضم مختلف الألوان الغنائية واللهجات العربية،
وكانت من أوائل الفنانين العرب الذين صوروا أغنياتهم على طريقة السينما
