The first item on the program bore plaintive strains (Artanaad) wherein a doe laments its fawn, investing pathos (Karun Rasa) into the beats of Kisang Kinthhai. Shibor played the five-stringed saitar with the band members Jeevan Lyngdoh on the Duitara, Pinbha Long Khong Mowl on the Padiya, Alden Khong Mowl on the Kisang Kinthhai, Wanbor Maukan on the Nakra, and Yasung Long Khong Moule on other instruments such as the marigond, Shannam (cymbals), Shau-Shau (manjira).
With a cradle song and melodies based on the 'Padiya Shi Ding' pattern celebrating mothers and childhood memories, the performance continued. Other songs, such as 'Mei Byd Jong Na,' honored mothers and their love and sacrifice, while 'Golden Fall' sang the praises of Meghalaya's natural springs. The concluding song, 'Mei Ramaau,' expressed gratitude towards Mother Earth and a pledge for the protection of nature.
