Blind Elephant Dances To Classical Music Played On The Piano And It Is Simply Incredible

by May

Do animals love music? It's amazing to think that these creatures can appreciate the tunes that we humans love.

Animals will always impress and inspire us with their human-like abilities. We've seen countless of them seemingly feeling the emotions of happiness, sadness, and empathy just like we humans do.

But what's amazing is that even they are capable of appreciating the arts. Take this blind elephant we're looking at today as an example.

Paul Barton, a musician from England, took out his piano in the wild. He started playing classical music in the animal sanctuary.

His audience is Lam Duan, a blind Thai elephant. But it seems that she isn't satisfied being a mere audience to such a great piano player.

She wanted to perform with him. So as the beautiful music played, she was swaying, jiving with the tunes with her trunk, and moving around as if she's dancing to the old man's music.

In Barton's video, he tells his viewers that the female elephant has been blind for most of her life. She is 62 years old, living the rest of her days in Elephants World, an organization in Wang Dong, Thailand that looks after ill and disabled elephants.

He played different classical tunes. You'll hear pieces from Bach, Chopin, Satie, and Schubert.

It's unbelievable how a blind elephant can show appreciation for classical music

This is the kind musician who went out of his way by dragging a piano in the wild. He plays to comfort the elephants in the rescue center.

The warm-hearted piano player shares his time with animals who are disabled or sick.

The idea came to Barton when he was filming for his YouTube channel on the River Kwai bridge. He discovered the sanctuary that takes care of old, injured, and disabled street elephants.

He loves these creatures very much, so he asked for permission to play for them. The rescue center did not object to the idea.

It's not just Lam Duan who enjoyed his gift.

There were also other elephants who came to watch his mini classical piano concert. Some of them, in their own way, sang to the tunes.

There's also another video of Barton playing a traditional Thai flute called Saiyok. This performance was for Plara, another elephant in the facility.

Watch the full video of the sweet elephant swaying to classical music.

In an interview, Barton describes how the elephants reacted to his music. As soon as he started playing the piano, the creatures began moving.

Some of the elephants stroked the piano using their trunks. The rest held the trunks in their mouths while listening.

Then there are also ones who swayed, just like what Lam Duan did. They definitely became curious about the beautiful sounds.

Some elephants tried to sing as the tunes played.
