The vuvuzela is not a popular instrument outside of South Africa. World Cup players from other nations complain that it breaks their concentration, broadcasters have trouble making their commentaries heard over the buzzing, and there is plenty of evidence that vuvuzela blasts can cause hearing loss and spread germs. Still, there is something special—something in the realm of dogs walking upright or porpoises tending bar—about a vuvuzela version of Ravel's Bolero.

Wind-instrumentalists from the Konzerthaus Berlin give it a shot in this video (the Bolero is at about 1:55, after a bit of vuvuzela'd Brahms and some discussion of how they managed to make this thing play more than one buzzing note). Probably best not to try this at home.
