Bengali songs will include songs by Rabindranath Tagore, Rajanikanto Atulprasad and melodies from the golden era such as Manna, Hemanta, SD Burman, Shyamal, and Pintu Bhattacharya.

Prabuddha has extensively performed both Rabindra Sangeet and modern songs in different cities of India and abroad. He remains one of the most acknowledged singers of our times and his songs have been reviewed with very high ratings by leading music critics. His rendering originates from his soul, helping the audience to see and feel the visual imagery which is so very unique to Tagore and other Bengali songs.
