"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.

"Kingkortobbobimurh" is the debut album by popular folk fusion band Bangla. It was released in 2002 from Ektaar Music in both Cassette and CD Jewel Case Format. Later on, a paperback CD version was released domestically, which was also made and marketed by The Indian Record Mfg. Co. Ltd. with license from Ektaar Music as an official Indian market release. The album blends traditional baul music with western influences to satisfy the urges of peace from the shackles of urban living. The band mentions in the album sleeves that they believed Baul music, in it's essence transcends time and place. They also urge that the mixing and fusion of various instruments should be viewed as normal, given how Bangla music itself has been deeply influenced by said instruments over the last 50 years. Rather than ignoring it, the band wants its listeners to embrace it. Bangla's goal is to make sure the essence of these priceless songs is delivered to the listeners, in a more intimate f...
