A French musician is performing for a unique audience: the animal kingdom. His name is Plumes, and he plays his guitar for creatures in zoos and sanctuaries.
His concerts feature elephants, giraffes, tigers, and pandas. Videos show the animals having strong, and often calm, reactions to the music. They sometimes approach him or appear to listen closely.
Plumes does this to create a connection between humans and animals through art. He believes music can communicate across species. His work provides a rare look at how wildlife responds to human creativity.
The performances are documented online, where they have attracted global attention. Viewers can watch the animals' behaviors as Plumes plays his gentle, melodic songs.
