"Prottutponnnomotitto" is the sophomore album by popular folk fusion band Bangla. It was a tribute to Lalon Shai and features exclusively Lalon songs. It was released in 2006 from Ektaar Music. After having immense success from their first album, Kingkortobbobimurh, Bangla decided it to make an album dedicated completely to Lalon Shai and his teachings. During that time, Bangladesh was facing problems and pressure from various religious groups and there was an overall sense of misleading by extremists. It was evident, religion could have been used for worldly purposes and that made a lot a of people stray away from the real teachings with misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Bangla took up the time to do a retrospective analysis of select Lalon songs with a "discussion" on religious spirituality with Rob Fakir (Gopal), a baul featured extensively throughout the album. This is a unique approach that was unheard of in the band music scene during that time. Bangla yet again proved that their unique way of thinking, arrangement and composition transcends the boundaries of urban living and traditional folk. It further cemented Bangla's legacy as the go-to band for folk fusion in the Bangladeshi music scene.

Photography was done by Buno and also by Monty. The band wrote in the sleeve that Arash (son of Anusheh Anadil) was their inspiration with a thank you.
