Hagmann, Lea (2023). Beyond Tradition: Of Yodeling and Yoiking. [Movie].
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)“What does tradition really mean?” An important question that can be answered in hundreds of different ways. In our documentary, we portray three different singers that look beyond a conservative understanding of tradition:
- The young Swiss yodeller Meinrad Koch, who grew up with natural yodelling in Appenzell, feels restricted by the many dos and don’ts that exist within his tradition. In search of the very essence of yodelling, he questions dress codes, gender roles and musical conservatism. But by doing so, he experiences a lot of criticism from traditionalists.
- The young yoiker Marja Mortensson from South-Sapmi in Norway has a very different experience. She did not grow up with the yoiking tradition, as yoiking long suffered from being considered something to be ashamed about. By investigating her family’s history, she rediscovers the south-Sami form of yoiking and revives it in a contemporary context.
- Georgian music student Ninuca Kakhiani has yet again another story to tell. Singing in the renowned Tutarchela youth choir, conducted by Tamar Buadze, she not only learnt Georgian traditional songs but was also introduced to singing styles from other cultures. This broadens her horizon and makes her reflect her own tradition.
