The purpose of this concert is also to raise funds for the flood victims of Bangladesh. The entry is free and open for all on a first-come, first-served basis,
Fête de la Musique, is a music festival that began in France in 1982.
The idea was conceived by French Minister of Culture Jack Lang in 1981. Since then June 21 has been celebrated every year in more than a hundred countries in Europe and over the world as the World Music Day.
Along with performing with Scorpions at Madison Square Garden in New York City, SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas, and prominent international music festivals and conferences in Norway, the United Kingdom, Australia, Portugal, India, Sri Lanka, and other nations, Chirkutt — the global Bangladeshi band — established themselves as icons for millions of young people, particularly in Bangladesh, reads the press release.
Their impassioned and thought-provoking songs, as well as the exceptional live performances, compel the audience to pay attention to every word.
Their unique Bangla music is their greatest asset. They blend Bangla and Asian sensibilities into great folk, rock, and classical music, the press release added.
