The Caxirola, pronounced 'ka-shee-roll-ah', the newest World Cup noise-maker, was invented by Oscar-nominated composer Carlinos Brown especially for the World Cup as a way to avoid the disastrous outcome of vuvuzela in South Africa in 2010.
In any case, the buzzing drone of the vuvuzelas will be replaced in Brazil by the Caxirola, a Maracas-like instrument that can be shaken to produce sound.
The Caxirola has been certified by the Brazilian Ministry of Sport and FIFA, and it consists of a simple plastic shaker with finger grips.But despite the official backing, caxirolas won’t be allowed into the matches.
And Brazilian fans are to be blamed for it. Last April, during a match between E. C. Vitória and E. C. Bahia (Carlinhos Brown’s home club) angry fans decided to throw their noise-makers onto the field when the match started going sour.
This incident led sports ministry of Brazil to ban the caxirola from the Confederations Cup, an international World Cup warmup, held last June. They have extended the ban to the twelve venues around the country that will host this year’s World Cup. This means that the Caxirola is officially banned from the 2014 World Cup.
