Kokopelli and Vuvuzela…
Kokopelli and Vuvuzela… Although there is not much information about Kokopelli, an image comes to mind when the word "Vuvuzela" is mentioned. The vuvuzela, a musical instrument unique to the host country South Africa, which football fans met at the 2010 World Cup, is a very loud musical instrument. It was sometimes banned because it made a lot of noise, and sometimes it was released and gave us a musical feast in the stadiums. Let's not say that, it almost deafened our ears.
You may be wondering what is the connection between Kokopelli and Vuvuzela. Let's explain it now …
Kokopelli is generally regarded as a highly revered fertility god by some Native American cultures in the southwestern United States, such as the Hopis and Zuni. It has feathers or antennae-like projections on its head. He is depicted as a "flute player" with a hunchback. He is a playful personality and describes the soul of music. Kokopelli is a leading actor who is loved and adopted in Rock'n Roll...
Also, don’t quote us on this but it has a lot of similarities with the "Pan" in Greek mythology. Pan played the flute though, didn't he? Not the vuvuzela…
Let's mention our claim and prediction...
As we said, Kokopelli is "a flute player". In fact, when you look at the depicted drawings, it is possible to understand that it is not a flute, but a "Vuvuzela". This is surely a guess, but when you consider the visuals, you can't help saying "why not". Here's a cross-cultural link. African music is a structure with legendary tones that knead and reveal hundreds of cultures...
Although it belongs to the American Indian culture, it is a part of the African continent with its character and structure… And we still claim that Kokopelli plays neither flute nor pipe. It's a Vuvuzela!
By the way, Kokopelli always carries a sack with him as he is very closely involved with agriculture and harvesting as well as music. Legend has it that the sack is made of rainbows or clouds full of seeds.
In short, Kokopelli is one of the most recognizable and well-known images in today's world. You can see it everywhere from clothing to home textiles, from furniture to golf balls, and from key chains to various ornaments.
AS an aside, Kokopelli also loves to travel and guide travelers. If you see it anywhere, go after it. You will not regret…
