The Rough Guide to Yodel

Description

Product Description What is it about yodel that brings smiles and laughter? The memories of old films, mountain scenes and a hint of Alpine slapstick? Great fun (as this album shows), yodel is also a wonderful age-old art form that reverberates around the world. From its spiritual homes in the Alps and rural USA, yodel's influence can be found in any country; from Hawaii to Cameroon, and in any type of music; from techno to Bollywood. The Rough Guide To Yodel aims to squash the clichés and invites you to open your ears to the joy of yodel. Review (4 stars) What this arresting CD does is show how widespread yodelling is across cultures... lovely stuff. -- The Independent, (Michael Church), November 19, 2006(5 stars) The best global yodeling album in the world ever...always somehow lifts the spirits. -- Songlines, (Julian May), March/April 2007
