The songs presented have their own stories, such as About Flowers (Romantic Echoes), Bunga Abadi (Rio Clappy), Bunga Terakhir (Bebi Romeo), and Bunga Sorry (Rendy Pandugo).

Not only songs and collaborations, The Lantis also includes a short documentary video that gives an overview of their creative process and journey to music as a group something that is rarely seen by the public, but rather adds to the depth of this showcase.
That night, The Lantis not only showed how they played music, but also showed who they really were a group of musicians who were serious about their work.
This showcase is just the beginning, and there is much more to be expected from their journey forward.
