singstyles
Loud and high singing - over the mountains, like an sms between young people. The young people in an age of 12-14 years had to go with sheeps in the mountain for 2 weeks and this was the only way to communicate. And often it would used to calling the cows.
YOLK - the oldest singing style, less lyriks and more sounds for important events. oloa|oloa|oloa
