Yodeling is a part of many different cultures. For Koreans, the word "Yodel" automatically equates to Switzerland only. Thus, they find it hard to believe that yodeling exists outside of Switzerland.

Likewise, foreigners from other countries are similarly surprised when I introduce myself as a yodel advocate from Korea. They, too, find it hard to believe that Koreans yodel.

Perhaps we are all caught up in, and bound by stereotypes that makes such situations possible. What I would like to suggest here, is that yodeling truly is present all over the world. We are just not aware that different nationalities sing yodels.

Based on my experiences, yodeling is a common thread which connect strangers from different origins. Yodeling allowed me to travel the world and meet fellow yodel-enthusiasts. Even though we speak different languages, we have yodeling to help us understand each other. For me, the yodel is a song for all mankind 🙂

Yodel Day

This video introduces the book Tirolerei in der Schweiz [Tirole Yodel in Switzerland], published in 2020 by Raymond Ammann, who is currently a retired researcher at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. 'The history of the yodel, and how did it survive?' This is a video created from the author's text with the consent of the original author.

As the author himself stated, this study is the first study on yodeling and its eventful history from the Alps in the 19th century to today's cities, and outlines the eventful history of yodel. In addition, he provides insight into the new birth of yodel in the 21st century from a very unique perspective.

According to the author, today yodel is seen as something that connects people and is no longer seen as a way to distinguish oneself from others. Additionally, people interested in playing yodel today do not see it as a means of drawing cultural boundaries and building identity; They say they see it as an opportunity for new individual and musical experiences, both as individuals and as a group.

What do you guys think?
