Etymology

The term 'yodeller' derives from the Swiss German word 'jodeln', which means 'to sing'. The practice of yodeling began in the remote Alpine regions long ago, used as a means of communication among herders and farmers, allowing them to call to one another across the mountains. Historically, yodeling served as a way for men to establish their presence and attract potential mates. Over the years, the practice transitioned from a practical means of communication to an art form and became popular in folk music, particularly by the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Yodeling found its way into American country music through Swiss immigrants, gaining further popularity with performances by artists such as Jimmie Rodgers and Roy Rogers. Today, yodelling is celebrated in various cultures and maintains its relevance in modern music.
