A nice alternative to the noisy Vuvuzela so favoured by soccer fans in South Africa.

Dr Bruce Copley a leading holistic animator and pioneer of corporate drumming in South Africa, has made an exciting discovery that transforms the Vuvuzela into a sweet sounding multi-noted musical instrument. This revolutionary discovery – a world first – offers a simple, creative and effective solution to the controversial white noise produced by the Vuvuzela.

What needs to change is not the vuvuzela but the player and this is exactly what the Rainbow Vuvuzela demonstrates so sweetly and simply.

The Rainbow Vuvuzela ensemble comprising students from the Muizenberg High school and featured in this clip are now after only a few hours practice, producing sweet music, sounds, songs, rhythms and dances. Their first public performance was at the AfriOceans Warriors Conference in Cape Town on 6 May 2010. They will also be showcased on ARD German television, South Korean National television and featured in the popular SABC 2 Rainbow Rhythm series.

In this clip Dr Bruce Copley demonstrates the large variety of sweet sounds that can be produced with a conventional Vuvuzela.

Fact:

The Vuvuzela, when blown the traditional way, produces a B-flat note of 130 dB which is enough, when held at close range to the ear for 2 minutes, to permanently damage the hearing.
