Zäuerli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zäuerli is a type of traditional Swiss folk music, common in the Appenzell region of Switzerland.[1] It can be described as 'voiceless yodeling', and is characterised by slower tempo and lower vocal range than in other types of yodeling,[2] making it sound somewhat 'sad'.[3]
