Christian Muthspiel likes to describe yodeling as the blues of the Alps. The custom of cheering and hollering in the mountains has a long history. It has been a popular ritual for centuries, and its complex simplicity is striking.
Christian Muthspiel’s approach to yodeling is definitely untraditional, and it’s also playful. He pays tribute to this unique genre by playing yodel music with non-Alpine instruments and sharing it with his Austro-European-American Yodel Group.
