elephants



You may have heard of painting elephants - the result of a project Russian conceptual artists Komar & Melamid began in the 90s.

Turns out our large gray friends also have a bit of an ear for music.

Dave Soldier and Richard Lair put together an ensemble of elephants that perform traditional Thai tunes & improvisations, as well as a little Beethoven and Hank Williams on specially designed musical instruments.

Meet the Thai Elephant Orchestra.



They have two albums out off Mulatta Records.
