I spent a couple decades as the chantyman with a pirate re-enactment group. Hence the moniker.
Interestingly, they developed different rhythms depending on the effort since everybody had to work & pull together.
There were long-haul, short-haul and capstan chanties, as well as the storytelling kind and each served it's own purpose.
And of course, there were those you didn't sing in polite company.

And this guy does a fantastic job! I love his weekly youtube videos, with a little commentary
But also his bandcamp album. just listening on repeat and grunting out the harmonies, my wife is wondering WTF is going on up here in my home office, haha.
