He shot a scenic music video that showed a portion of the majestic African wildlife and the ethnic groups living in the area.
Music entertains not only humans but animals as well. We've all seen fun internet videos of pets grooving to popular music. Ukrainian DJ RAJA took this concept to the next level by playing his music in the wild for African wildlife. As unbelievable as it sounds, DJ RAJA did this for his latest music video, "Animal." The catchy techno tune with afro-house beats, featured in his album "Wakanda," has garnered over 44,000 views on YouTube in just a few weeks.
According to George FM, DJ RAJA, calls himself a "spiritual techno rave Ukrainian artist" who has started playing his music in the middle of an African safari. This video would have been incomplete without the zebras, giraffes, buffalos, wildebeests and the animal sounds that were in the backdrop of the music video. "This is not AI, this is reality. Raja has gathered all the jungle animals to witness his wild new DJ Afro House live set. Dive into this incredible show, filmed in the heart of the African wilderness. Feel the untamed energy, pulsing beats, that blend nature’s wild wonders with cutting-edge music," the music producer captioned in a clip of the video he shared on his Instagram, @raja_music7.

In another video clip, DJ RAJA mentioned that the album was entirely filmed in Africa to "showcase the culture, beauty of ancient traditions, local inhabitants and nature, all combined with incredible ethnic and modern electronic music." "Animal" is the first part of five segments that comprise the album. The music video also captures the DJ walking fearlessly in the grassy lands of Africa close to two lionesses. All in all the video delighted techno music fans and garnered rave reviews as well. DJ RAJA's most popular clip on Instagram has over 8 million views and is flooding with positive comments where many compared the music video to the DreamWorks' hit animated film series "Madagascar."
@talyshum.dj wrote, "This is simply the best location for recording a DJ set that I have seen!" @davidmuriithi mentioned, "As a Kenyan living next door to Tanzania, I'd like to point out that we don't have Jungles in East Africa per se. The meaning of jungle is an impenetrable thicket or tangled mass of tropical vegetation. You were performing in a wilderness not a jungle. Also, it would be lovely if you had referenced your location as well to show your appreciation for our nature. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the great vibes." @ballflowbody wondered, "Are these wild animals for real and they just gather around? That’s so neat if so."

In one of the numerous Instagram clips, the music producer spends some quality time with the people from the Maasai tribe who are an ethnic group that dwell in parts of Kenya and Tanzania. This certainly isn't the first instance when humans have played some music for their beloved pets or other animals they have encountered. USA Today reported about a 10-year-old boy named Yuvi Agarwal playing music for dogs in an animal shelter and setting an example for others. The video was shared on the YouTube channel of KPRC 2 Click2Houston. The young piano player was not only helping dogs living in small spaces to calm down but also polishing his piano skills at the same time.
