The song "Ejanjangñ" is one of them and shows her ambition as a modern woman's singer: "Today, March 8, a day of joy for our women... We are present in all professions... Ji sen oli respect: show us respect! "Also listen to "Pass ul" (invitation to prayer in the face of drought) and "Jaal bu balo" (return home during the rainy season).
