"As the emblematic song of Switzerland, yodeling encompasses a wide variety of artistic expressions and is deeply rooted in the population,"
"As a characteristic vocal technique, yodeling alternates between chest and head voice and uses meaningless syllables that are often associated with local dialects."
"Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has championed "Made in Italy" products as part of her right-wing government's nationalist agenda. She said the designation "honors who we are and our identity.""
