Folk fusion band Chirkutt created history by performing alongside Scorpions at one of theworld's most famous venues, Madison Square Garden, in New York.

The event, titled "Let the Music Speak", was arranged in honour of Bangladesh's golden jubilee, by Mainspring Limited and the ICT Division of the Ministry of Information and Technology, Government of Bangladesh.

Chirkutt clicked pictures with Scorpions, having given them custom rickshaw-painted sunglasses as gifts.

They were also seen posing at Times Square, where the poster for the concert showed up on a billboard.

MSG is the same venue where Pandit Ravi Shankar, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, Ringo Starr, and Joan Baez performed to 40,000 audience members to raise funds for Bangladesh in 1971.
