Yodeling has a long tradition in Switzerland, where a yodel can be heard from one Alpine mountain top to another. Great Big Story went to the Alps to learn about yodeling. In this video we will learn of its origins, continued popularity, and the nuts and bolts of how to yodel from Melanie of the famous Swiss band Oesch die Dritten. They also take us to Jodlerfest Altstätten, a yodeling festival that draws world-class yodelers. It was difficult, but our host finally found some yodelers and fans who speak English.

I enjoyed this, Miss C, thanks! My maternal grandparents emigrated to Canada from Switzerland 100 years ago, so I heard lots of recorded Swiss music and yodeling when I was a kid.
