Swiss seek recognition from UN cultural agency as tradition turns modern
Switzerland's government is looking for a shout-out from U.N. cultural agency UNESCO, to include the tradition of yodeling on its list of intangible cultural heritage. Modern-day promoters emphasise that the yodel is far more than the mountain cries of yesteryear, but a popular, modern form of singing. A decision is expected by the end of 2025.
