Hear the ancient Swedish song to call the cows home [video]
Posted by staff / July 1, 2016
Cow or human would be hard-pressed to resist coming to the haunting ancient call known as ‘kulning.’
Jonna Jinton claims she had never tried the technique previously, but it does the trick and adds another layer of ambiance to the breathtaking scene.
According to Wikipedia:
The song has a high-pitched vocal technique, i.e. a loud call using head tones, so that it can be heard or be used to communicate over long distances. It has a fascinating and haunting tone, often conveying a feeling of sadness, in large part because the lokks often include typical half-tones and quarter-tones (also known as “blue tones”) found in the music of the region.
