Sea Shanties

Play Latest

Sea shanties are a traditional genre of maritime music that were originally sung by sailors to coordinate the labor aboard sailing ships. Characterized by rhythmic, call-and-response patterns, these songs facilitated teamwork and morale during long voyages. With roots stretching from Europe to the Americas, shanties encompass both somber ballads and lively tunes that tell tales of the sea, adventure, and longing. Today, artists like Trzy Majtki and Janusz Sikorski bring new life to this genre, infusing it with modern and folk influences. Through harmonious vocals and acoustic instrumentation, they capture the enduring spirit of maritime heritage, making sea shanties resonate with contemporary audiences.
