Most of the criticism is comming from european media,especially one UK media giant is driving a campaign against these. whats the point in taking the world cup to Africa and then trying to give it an European look and feel?Iam in complete love with this sound. I personally feel this adds some local flavor for the host nation.
In-spite of its controversy , An iPhone application that mimics the blasting of the African trumpet, has been released and it seems has been downloaded more than a million times.
Ironically, the iPhone application as was developed by a Dutch programmers. And its the Dutch who have been the most vociferous against the horn, with their coach banning them from his team's training sessions and Dutch striker blaming vuvuzelas on his inability to hear a referee's whistle.
President of FIFA Sepp Blatter commented, "I have always said that Africa has a different rhythm, a different sound. I don't see banning the music traditions of fans in their own country. Would you want to see a ban on the fan traditions in your country?"
like it or not vuvuzelas are here to stay!

Frankly,I don't like the sound.I do feel it is kinda irritating.However,I think this shouldn't be banned just because I or some others don't like it.We should learn to be tolerant of things like this.Here,it is more of traditions,feelings and sentiments.It is good if people adapt to this.This is the kind of things which exhibit the diversity that exists in this world.
ReplyDeletewell said Ashok, Thats precisely the point, imagine banning people from clapping @ lords while watching cricket / banning thundersticks at NBA's .. list is endless , these things give local touch to the game and as you said; these exhibit the diversity.
