These Yodelers Bring the Swiss Alps to Life

À propos de cette vidéo

One of our producers Stuart heads to Switzerland to answer four big questions: What is yodelling? Where does this Swiss tradition come from? Why is it still performed today? And how is it judged? Along the way, he gets a personal how-to yodel lesson from Melanie of the famous family band Oesch die Dritten, meets skilled Swiss yodelers, and learns about the Alpine roots of the art. He then explores the vibrant world of Jodlerfest Altstätten, from breathtaking performances to the strict criteria used by judges. Through music, costumes, and customs, Stuart experiences the yodelling tradition that has kept this centuries-old art alive in the Swiss Alps. What Is Yodeling?
