Prothom Khoshra is Porijayi’s first effort on a professional platform. Prothom Khoshra consists of three songs, the first of which is based on a continuously evolving folk music form, Jhumur. (Phul Gachhti Lagoichhilam)

Jhumur is an ancient musical form that belongs to the red soiled western frontiers of West Bengal. It is a folk music form of the Chhotanagpur plateau covering several districts of West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha. Its origin dates back to the pre-Vaishnav Padabali period (15th century onwards). Jhumur songs are soulful manifestations of people’s everyday life, strife and tribulations.

It has been the way of life for many rural communities and tribes. Since the migration of tribal people to the tea gardens, Jhumur can also be heard in the hills of North Bengal and Assam. Sorrow, love and loss are weaved into every performance with utmost care. This common thread of emotion lies at the heart of Jhumur’s popularity. Jhumur has a vast repertoire. It crossed the confinements of villages and reached the cities by early 19th century. It occupied an important place in the entertainment scenario of 19th century Bengal. Kolkata witnessed many patrons of Jhumur at the time.
