Kakoli sang two beautiful songs of Atul Proshad--Keu Nayon Mudey Dekhe Alo and Premey Jal Hoye Jao Goley. Her performance was very brilliant.

Besides the artistes of the group, Khairul Anam Shakil also rendered Chhilo Chand Megher Parey, a song of Himangshu Dutta, which was based on Chandramollika raga, and a popular Nazrul song E Ki Ashim Piasha.
