Brooklyn Blowhards at the Brooklyn Barge
Sea Shanties-Pulling the beat. The sea can be a terrifying place. I love sea shanties because they embody the spirit of men holding on in the face of a vast and unknowable ocean which combines beauty and fear in equal measure. I love the tension of individual and group that is so present in the very form of these songs through the Call and response structure. I love the way this music is connected to the acts of physical labor on a ship - its feeling of resistance-the pushing and pulling of the beat; actually, more pulling of the beat than pushing you dont push with a rope.
