yodellers
Mountain vocal performers
Yodellers are singers who yodel—rapidly alternating between chest voice and falsetto to produce a distinctive warbling sound.
The technique originated in the Alpine regions of Europe, where herders used it to communicate across mountains.
The yodellers performed traditional Swiss folk songs.
Also spelled yodelers.
