The BABORD AMURES sea shanties group Babord Amures offers a panorama of songs of the sea including both traditional sea shanties and modern songs on this theme, by composers such as Gaston Couté , Graeme Allwright , Pierre Mac Orlan , Michel Tonnerre or Georges Brassens . There are also some compositions of the group and some “shanties” of Anglo-American sailors. This show of sea shanties is very varied, alternating group arrangements and traditional interpretations (sometimes “a capella”), solo songs and group songs, sea laments to listen to and work songs to respond to , instrumentals and dances, etc. This diversity is further underlined by the fact that the songs are led alternately by one or other of the singers and that the instruments are numerous and varied: diatonic accordion, guitars, banjos, violins, mandolins, lute, acoustic bass guitar, Hawaiian guitar, ukulele, Irish flute, harmonica… User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
