Vuvuzela: A rough translation from Zulu meaning making noise.
This soccer horn originally made out of tin, but is now locally
manufactured (in South Africa) in plastic. It has largely influenced
and shaped South Africa’s soccer (football) and sport culture into the
alive, vocal and energetic state that it is in today.

Essentially it is an elongated trumpet type instrument made from plastic that requires some lip and lung strength to blow
it. Then the noise that it emits is something like a deep foghorn or an elephant.



You're supposed to blow them at soccer or any sport matches making as much of a noise as possible and certainly they
work very well in that regard.

The history of vuvuzelas is rooted deep in African history as people would blow on a Kudu horn (a Kudu is a local
and large buck with beautiful spiralled horns) to call villagers to a meeting. Adding to the appeal is that there is an
African belief that says the baboon is killed by a lot of noise so the last quarter of a game sees even more frantic
blowing of vuvuzelas as supporters try and kill off their opponents.
