North American (country/cowboy) yodelers are much more famous than their Euro-versions, not because they're better but because publicity pushes their image. Swiss yodelers are sometimes famous, but only as a result of reputation. ... It points out a different relationship between singer and song, yodeler and yodel. The American star machine emphasizes the (yodel) song as a vehicle to one's success ... In other cultures (Pygmy and Swiss, for instance), the yodeler is sometimes a conduit through which the spirit of the yodel passes, anonymously. The yodel—its beauty and vigor—subsumes individual ego, in effect echoing the topographical and psycho-acoustical effects of a yodel echoing through a valley.
