Alamgir's accompanists were Gazi Abdul Hakim (flute), Nasir (lead guitar), Mashuk Alamgir (acoustic guitar), Alamgir (backing vocals), Rony (tabla) and Shubroto (octopad).
Fakir Alamgir blends traditional folk music with western instruments. He has released several popular albums with foot-tapping numbers like “O Sakhina”, “Shantahar” etc.
Alamgir has successfully fused 'modernism' into the tradition of Gono Sangeet. His landmark songs include in the “Sokhina” series that depicts the struggle between the “haves” and the “have nots” through a romantic relationship between the singer and a village girl.
