After being trapped in tourist stereotypes for a long time, Swiss yodeling is no longer just a folkloric phenomenon that arouses curiosity. This ancient mountain vocal technique, which relies on alternating between the chest voice and the head voice, was included last December on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. This consideration goes beyond just international recognition, as “yodeling” is sung today in multiple contexts, crossing the boundaries of popular art to merge with rock, pop, and even rap. From Geneva to the Alps in Bern, the rising generations combine tradition and modernity.
