Kluet, a 20-year-old Sumatran orangutan from the Adelaide Zoo, composed his first song — Give Me a Klue.
Pij Olijnyk, a primate keeper at the Adelaide Zoo and a producer for Kluet’s single, said the song was comparable to some renowned modern jazz. “There are certainly nods to a couple of classic jazz songs in there.”
The song is being sold on Adelaide Zoo’s website where people who buy it can pay whatever they want for it, with the money going toward supporting the zoo’s three orangutans.
