Yodeling is a part of many different cultures. For Koreans, the word "Yodel" automatically equates to Switzerland only. Thus, they find it hard to believe that yodeling exists outside of Switzerland.
Likewise, foreigners from other countries are similarly surprised when I introduce myself as a yodel advocate from Korea. They, too, find it hard to believe that Koreans yodel.
Perhaps we are all caught up in, and bound by stereotypes that makes such situations possible. What I would like to suggest here, is that yodeling truly is present all over the world. We are just not aware that different nationalities sing yodels.
Based on my experiences, yodeling is a common thread which connect strangers from different origins. Yodeling allowed me to travel the world and meet fellow yodel-enthusiasts. Even though we speak different languages, we have yodeling to help us understand each other. For me, the yodel is a song for all mankind 🙂
