The Vuvuzela...it's Ayoba Time!

So what is a Vuvuzela?



...pictures are worth a thousand words so I am done with the introduction...

I love the name. Vuvuzela. Say it to yourself.  Say it out loud.  Say it louder.  Now call it a Vuvu...yea now you know what you're talking about!

I am sure if you have watched a match on TV, or if you are lucky enough to have attended a match yourself, then you have heard the Vuvuzela in the background, foreground, highground, and lowground.  I am sure you have heard silly American commentators talk about them enough to make your ears bleed...but seriously, these horns can make your ears bleed...especially if you are gracefully aged (for lack of a better word), sometimes grumpy, and easily irritable like my father (hope he doesn't read this)...
...they are blown non-stop from entering the stadium until exit, and that is only because you have parted ways with said blowers...but this is not always the case - I have awoken to the sound of the distant solo Vuvu at 8am...it must be a Vuvu player who was covering the morning shift of a local rooster...I have laid in bed at 3 am and heard a covert Vuvu sound, said blower must be on a ghost recon mission to recover an injured Vuvu who was left in the gutter and trampled on by thousands of futbol fans...regardless...I am growing fond of these things as I try my best to personify their existence...wait, I just heard a drive-by Vuvuzela horn blowing at 2:57am...sweeeeet....

My dad describes them as sounding like a swarm of angry bees or hornets...a SA friends describes them as the green flies that hover over shit...but I am yet to draw any conclusions...

It is say to say that there is no chance Fifa will prohibit the Vuvuzelas from matches as long as Bufana, Bufana (if you don't understand this reference you must watch my videos!) keep winning/drawing/advancing/wavin' their flag as K'naan would say...and I am okay with this, as the nation seems united behind the bufana with the yellow bufana uniform mated with the loud cries of the Vuvu horns...it brings an energy, and this energy is aiding in the culmination of a world party all this month succsfully bringing the World Cup home to the motherland with energy and emotion! (regardless of the fact that their existence motivates some people to invest in "VuvuPlugs" - hey it is boosting the local earplug industry!)

The reason why I will not go anti-Vuvu is because I see the possibilities of these wonderful instruments...check out this video!  It's Ayoba Time!





The potential cosmic infusion of Brazilian sambaesque rhythm and drums with the crisp and clean roar of these beloved Vuvuzelas has infinite possibilities...this video is only the potential begining...
...I think I am going to bring a conductor's wand to the South Korea match I am attending in Port Elizabeth tomorrow with GPops to begin the nuclear reaction and immediately change the mind of all Vuvu doubters across the globe and inspire them to remove their Vuvu plugs and enjoy the sounds and maybe even shake their hips a bit...
...shit, I shouldn't have just said that out loud...this Vuvu infested Samba could take over Brazil in 2014 (site of next world cup)...I need to go patent Vuvus in the Amazon, open up eight Vuvu producing factories in potential host cities...cash in and make my millions...


Another idea...manufacture 5 different size horns that all make different tones and all fit on the same pentatonic scale...this would induce automatic and catchy melody wherever Vuvu blowers can wonder...
...shit, another idea I just shared with the world...buck it, you heard it here first...if you want to go into business with my, lets do it, I take 70%, you take 30%...email me... 


...regardless I think I was just inspired to purchase a Vuvu myself...(if you are under 18 or reading this to someone who is under 18, please stop reading)...I mean, who doesn't like getting their horn blown?
