Mulatta is a new record label that intends to bring you music both challenging and bizarre, co-directed by Ayo Osinibi and Dave Soldier.

 

A CD of elephants in the Thai jungle playing specially designed musical instruments. The elephants improvise the music themselves. The Thai Elephant orchestra was co-founded by Richard Lair of the Thai Elephant Conservation Center in Lampang and performer/composer Dave Soldier. Most of the profits will go to the Conservation Center. The CD includes a twelve page color booklet that details the project.
