Fun fact
The sounds of Switzerland are legendary, defined by romantic mountain folk music composed of accordion tunes, a strange wooden instrument called the alphorn (kind of like a Swiss didgeridoo) and, of course, yodelling. The unique singing style started as a way for shepherds to summon their herds and to call out to neighbouring villages.
