Escopetarra is a guitar that is made out of a shotgun. Yes, you read that correctly - a guitar made from a gun!
The name escopetarra comes from the combination of two words: escopeta, which means shotgun in Spanish and guitarra, which means guitar.
So, how exactly does this work? Well, a person takes a shotgun and removes all of the gun parts, leaving only the body. This body is then turned into a guitar by adding strings, frets, and a neck. The guitar can be played just like any other guitar, except that it has a unique look and a powerful message.
The idea behind the escopetarra is to raise awareness about the dangers of gun violence and to promote peace. It was created by Colombian musician Cesar Lopez, who saw the destruction that guns can cause in his country and wanted to use his music to make a difference.
The escopetarra is a symbol of hope and transformation - turning something violent and destructive into something beautiful and peaceful. It shows that music and art can be used to send powerful messages and make a positive impact in the world.
