Late Period Cervix Very High

Let's yodel! Putumayo Presents Spain

This August I spent a few days in Switzerland, the Alpine country, chocolate, cows and secret accounts and, as always try my trip, I brought a sample of popular music: three CDs for just over € 13 in total. It's funny because one of the groups that appeared in the compilation ( Ursprung Buam , recognizable because one member has a face ... say ... "recognizable") had seen the day before on Swiss television.

One of the things that struck me on these discs is that they place great emphasis on the yodel, an alpine ridge, but also occurs in other cultures. This rapid change in the tone of voice, creating a very particular melody. The song is widely known, among other things, appear in The Sound of Music or the opening of the Heidi-the famous series "Grandpa tell me your " -. Erroneously, this style is often only narrow the Austrian Tyrol, but the truth is characteristic of the Alps in general.

Here's another enlightening video


He has been very important in the development of other genres like country. In the U.S., most non-Hispanic white population is ethnically Germanic origin. The mixture of Germanic cultures (whose biggest contribution to this style possibly is the "jodel"), Celtic, African and native led the old time music, country base. Here are some examples of American jodel:

Taylor Ware



Now that you know the name you have no excuses , no phone calls " iolorei " or " ondeleio " Speak properly, call it yodel.

What Colours Go With Stone



Attention, fans of Putumayo : track on news websites, I saw that the label will release on 29 September this year " Spain " , a compilation with the best current country music de Cervantes. They do a real tour of the cultural wealth of this country, with modern songs and other traditional touches. Galicia, Catalonia, Aragon, Extremadura ...

addition, as many know, Putumayo always includes a recipe typical of the area on each disc, and this time they have chosen a recipe ... Karlos ArguiƱano! What Uncle bigger! Although presumably not include their jokes ... corrected himself: They should make a mistake or something, because I have changed and now the recipe seems to be his sister Eva ArguiƱano (although you can not trust, because until you have the last name misspelled).
