For Tarali her latest album ‘Mukoli’ is a labour of love. She has spent a significant amount of time to get the right feel and sound to her latest album. The result is a magical amalgamation of scintillating melody, traditional folk, experimental music and lyrical beauty, truly a poetic and aural masterpiece – a listening pleasure beyond comparison.

Tarali has managed to bring together some of the India's best in the field of music to give the album just the right touch – Dilshad Khan in Sarengi, Rakesh Chaurasia, Ashwin Sriniwas, Dipak Sarma in Flute, Pawan Bordoloi in Tabla, Pawan Rasaily in Guiter, Pulak Nath Rajeev Hazarika. Lyrics by eminent poet Hiren Bhattacharya, Hemanta Dutta, Goutam Sarma, Saurav Saikia and Tarali herself. All of them have contributed to make the album special.

‘Mukoli’ is a complete album, in the sense that it embraces myriad emotions and human situations.

The Title track Mukoli is an experimental song. This is a song about freedom, hope, peace and happiness of the heart. This is a thought provoking song which also brings a smile and hope to the listener. This song can take the listener to a completely different world.

This is what she has to say about ‘Akou Rati Puwal’ one of the songs in the album – “The sun brightens up everything in this world but it cannot lighten up the dark recesses of the heart, the heart that is bleeding because of broken relationships and misunderstandings.”

‘Mon’ is about love, about a sense of oneness with your beloved. The lyrics written by the famous Hiren Bhattacharya is a wonderful composition, a mature rendition on the subject of accepting individual faults and short-comings of one’s lover.

‘Ketiyaba’ explores the loneliness of the modern man in today’s context, being lonely in the maddening crowd.
Another haunting lament on bereavement is ‘O Mor’ which has a floating flute motif by Ashwin Sriniwas and a moaning guitar piece by Pawan Rasaily.

‘Bhagoruwa’ on the other hand is an adaptation of Assamese Folk music which talks about human struggle and the victory of the human spirit against all odds. Rakesh Chaurasia’s flute sets the tone for this one and Dilshad Khan on the Sarengi takes this song to another level.

‘Riniki’ is a mischievous love song that adds another interesting dimension to the wholeness of the album.

Pièce de résistance is ‘Anurag’, a beautiful composition that takes the place of the jewel in the crown of the entire album. This song is a love ballet.
