...also i kwon how to communicate with animals...

 I don't have a band or favorite singer because many are favorites for me, but one of the bands that I love is Calle 13. 

Calle 13 is a band of urban music of Puerto Rico, headed by René Pérez Joglar, (Residente), and his brother Eduardo Cabra Martínez (Visitante). His sister Ileana Cabra Joglar (PG-13), is the female voice of the group. 

The band is known for being eclectic, often using a variety of musical influences and imaginative fusions that have defined his unique style. In his works one can see influences from rock, rap, ska, merengue, bossa-nova, Balkan music, Latin American folklore and many more. 

Today they have 4 albums: Calle 13 (2005), Residente o Visitante (2007), Los de atrás vienen conmigo (2008) y Entren los que quieran (2010). In 2009 Resident and Visiting presented his first documentary, Sin Mapa, which was televised by MTV. It tells the journey of the group who were in search of the essence of the great Latin American continent.

I like Calle 13 for their lyrics and unique style of music. Each song poseeun shocking social content, using irony and humor, as well direct. They sing to life, to the foolish, the efforts of the people, the desires, to consciousness, to everything.
 

It's been one of the best bands I've seen live, great staging and an atmosphere that everyone enjoyed, it is best to have been the first one meter off the stage!

I like all the songs, and it's hard to choose just one, but there is a special which speaks of love and a message behind for justice to animals, Muerte en Hawaii.

SIFAKA !

The Sifaka is a mammal animal. Lemurs are a few primates endemic to the island of Madagascar. Get their name from the lemurs, ghosts or spirits of Roman mythology due to the noisy vocalizations, his bright eyes and nocturnal habits of some species. The sifakas (Propithecus) is a genus of primates of the family commonly known as sifakas Indriidae.




I like this animal because I find interesting, funny, nice, relaxed with a social organization and behavior only. Sifakas spend most of their time in trees, feeding on leaves throughout the year and fruits when available. They make spectacular leaps from tree to tree propelling from the trunk with long hind limbs and then turning 180 degrees in the air to get in front of the next tree. They are diurnal animals and live in groups of up to 9 individuals, including several females suckling.

The lemurs are threatened by a number of environmental problems such as deforestation, hunting for bushmeat, capturing live specimens for the exotic pet trade and climate change. All lemur species are listed on Appendix I of CITES (The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) which prohibits trade in specimens or parts, except those intended for scientific research










I don't know specifically what the role of sifaka in animal kingdom, but I'm sure they are important, and that all animals contributes something, and together form a balance in the ecosystem and maintain a natural process of life.
