The Sound of Naturjodel

“The Sound of Naturjodel” is a playlist that brings together the raw, unpolished vocal tradition of Swiss and Alpine natural yodeling. Featuring tracks like "s'Rothe-Zäuerli" by Öse Schuppel and "Rugguserli" by Jodlergruppe Hirschberg, it highlights the earthy harmonies and call-and-response patterns typical of Naturjodel, a form of yodeling performed without lyrics and inspired by the rhythms of rural life and mountain landscapes.

The playlist pulls from a wide range of groups and regions, including established clubs like Jodlerklub Oberhofen, Jodlerklub Ebnat-Kappel, and Jodlerklub Flühblüemli, as well as solo and duet performances from artists such as Vreni Kneubühl and Jakob Ummel. With tracks that range from lively mountain calls to more reflective nature-inspired pieces like "Es taget" and "Abezyt," this collection offers a wide listen into the cultural and sonic variety of traditional Swiss yodeling.
