Vuvuzela Orchestra 2010 songs Album

A collection of South African Soccer songs is now available for download from iTunes.

One essential element of the 2010 World Cup matches was missing from the audio on your TV screens, that is the wonderful repertoire of songs that SA soccer fans sing.   The Vuvuzela Orchestra has produced an album of those classic songs accompanied by seven tuned vuvuzelas and including the standard vuvuzelas doing call and response rhythms in between the verses of the songs.  All the songs (except for Shosholoza, the SA Soccer National Anthem) start with the rhythm of the standard vuvuzelas which you can join if you wish to use these tracks in interactive fashion.              So take your vuvuzela and play the rhythm choruses with the music when you hear “Shaya Vuvuzela !!” (which translates as blow the Vuvuzela !)
