Escopetarra
Escopetarra (escopeta/rifle and guitarra/guitar).
The story of the Gun-Guitar
A soldier holding his weapon reminded Colombian musician Cesar Lopez of himself holding his guitar. Thus was the Escopetarra conceived. The rifle used to make the Escopetarra comes from the 60-year-old armed conflict in Colombia. A "No Violence Campaign" developed in Colombia to convert rifles into electric guitars and hand them over to musicians and museums to spread a message of non-violence.
