Red Hot Chili Peppers Bass Session with Flea and Koko the Gorilla

Posted by on August 25, 2016 in Featured

Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea made a new friend recently – he paid a visit to Koko, (the gorilla that knows American Sign Language), and guess what??  She apparently knows her way around a bass too!

Flea handed over the bass to his gorilla friend, and watched her strum the strings and fiddle with the knobs. “This is the greatest thing that could ever happen,” Flea says. “This is the day I’ll never forget in my life.”

Flea wrote on his Instagram, “Koko rocks a flea bass like it ain’t nuthin,”  and posted some photos from their hangout session. There is another video on the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ official facebook page

He also posted a link to a Bonfire Funds campaign to support Koko and The Gorilla Foundation, which seeks to raise awareness about poachers and endangered species. Help support The Gorilla Foundation here: https://www.bonfirefunds.com/kokos-team
