Episode description

Located on the island of La Gomera in the Spanish Canary Islands is one of the most unusual languages on Earth. For centuries, the people on this island have been able to communicate over vast distances not by shouting, using smoke signals, or drums, but rather by whistling. This system allowed them to communicate just as easily as if they were talking, and it is still being used today. Learn more about Silbo Gomero, the whistling language of the Canary Islands, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. Sponsors This episode is sponsored by the Tourist Office of Spain.
