I do not know much about this collection, though I am keen to find more about it. It then appeared first in an anthology called ‘Baul’. ‘Ekla Chalo Re’ was written by Rabindranath Tagore in 1905 for the magazine Bhandar. Video of rendition of the song by Kishore Kumar As I kept singing, the meaning started emerging from the words. For a couple of days, I was singing it along with prominent voices like Kishore Kumar. It was time to understand the words and thanks to Google and Wikipedia, I could understand the lyrics. I came back home with the voice of Pradip Das Baul still haunting me. It was listening to it live in a space that had Tagore all around that made sense to me. Now I have heard this song sung by many prominent singers especially those with Bengali roots. The icing on top of this experience was hearing a Baul Singer – Sh Pradip Das Baul, sing this well-known poem. Video of the song Ekla Chalo Re by Baul Singer
