Sea Shanties ⛵⚓???

sea shanties are back! this is weird for me because i've been listening to sea shanties for over three years - no one, and i mean no one can sing like Johnny Collins and his man-slammin', shoulder-spannin' capstan lads.

let's kick this thread off with the best shanties by Johnny Collins, and then we can move onto tiktok or whatever.

Haul Boys Haul

Dogger Bank

Eliza Lee

^that last one is pure gold.

any cross-pollenation with other world music is welcome. do you know any other folk/traditional music with this type of sound? post anything with the raw energy of human vocals taken up to eleven as these shanties do.

i'm from the canadian maritimes. finally, i can claim that my culture has been appropriated. the great promise of 21th Century Liberalism has been fulfilled

I like them. Fascinating insight into Anglo-Saxon culture and traditions ;-)

probably the only one I know,from the film "the lighthouse"

dickheads.

I see that this was pre-delta. if ever there was a reason to prolong delta and its effects, it'd be this.
