Information
has glosseng: Lyoba or lyòba is the typical chant used by cow herders in the German, Austrian and especially the Swiss Alps. The chant is mostly used when driving the cattle from the barn to the pastures, and at the end of summer back to the barns (a practice known as yaylag pastoralism). These cows usually stay all summer on the mountain slopes, which gives the specific taste to the milk which is used to make the famous Gruyère cheese.
