The best way to experience yodeling is in person, at events like this weekend's New Glarus Music Fest. The traditional Swiss singing tradition lives on in southern Wisconsin, particularly in Green County's yodel clubs and other choral ensembles.
Online videos provide a way to sample this distinctive singing for those who can't listen in person, though. Meet several local yodelers, plus a few Swiss singers, in this collection of videos from New Glarus and beyond.
