Tyrol is “discovered” 1800-1820

Jodel for the Queen

Itinerant Tyrolean pedlars contribute to their homeland`s fame worldwide. Their trademark is the colourful local costume. They sing at fairs and markets, spreading the image of the unspoilt Tyroler. Some pedlars who sang originally in order to attact custom, switch over entirely to singing. They jodel for the Tsar in St. Petersburg, for the Queen in London, and travel further afield.
