Peter Hinnen
Peter Hinnen (born September 19, 1941 in Zurich ) is a Swiss yodeler and pop singer .
Life
In the 1950s he started his career as yodelling Peterli Hinnen in the Zurich restaurant “Kindli”, where he was discovered and promoted by the Schmid siblings . Through the Schmid trio he met their composer Artur Beul , who wrote the song “Goal” for him. Hinnen got a record deal with Polydor and had, among other things, appearances in the then usual hit films, such as 1954 in a film with Cornelia Froboess Große Starparade with the song Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Robinson and 1962 in Tanze mit mir in den morning .
In the 1960s, he went to Ariola and successfully continued his career with wild west hits with yodelling. He always appeared in cowboy costume , also later in the USA and Japan , where he was celebrated as the king of yodelling , and played the western guitar himself.
In May 1966 he went on a tour through Czechoslovakia under the title “Swiss Folklore Show”. He was accompanied by the Sauterelles , who denied the end of the show. In 1992 he received an entry in the Guinness Book of Records when he set the world record in fast yodelling with 22 yodelling tones in a single second. He was accompanied by the Bern quartet "RSGM".
Around the mid-1980s, he retired from show business and moved into a farmhouse near Wattenwil in Switzerland . Both his two marriages and his activities as head of a health resort and as a nurse in a health resort did not bring him the desired private success. He only occasionally appears in folk music broadcasts on German and Swiss radio. In 1966 he composed the Ku-Ku-Jodel, which was re-recorded by Oesch's die third in 2008.
