Etymology

The word 'yodel' comes from the Swiss German term 'jodeln', which means 'to sing or call out'. The roots of yodelling can be traced back to the Alpine regions where herders used this vocal technique to communicate across vast distances in the mountains. This style of singing developed as a practical method for communication and later evolved into an artistic form of performance. Yodelling gained recognition outside of Switzerland in the 19th century, especially through the spread of American folk music and cowboy culture, where it became a popular aspect of campfire songs and country music. Today, it remains a celebrated cultural tradition and is featured in various music styles around the world, reflecting its adaptability and enduring appeal.
