Yodelling folk

Yodelling Melanie Oesch shows her star qualities.

The Swiss yodelling group, the Oesch family, has been voted the best act in the TV competition, ‘Switzerland’s greatest hits’. The family from the Bernese Alps beat off competition from crooners and rockers, including Peter Reber and Gotthard, to scoop the award – the Swiss equivalent of ‘American idol’. Twenty-year-old Melanie Oesch is the star of the Oesch band. (Archive SF/swissinfo)
