There are some excellent interpreters of chanteys and fishing songs with strong African American connections, such as Bob Walser, The NexTradition, and our own Barry Finn. For various reasons, these traditions have largely, but not completely, disappeared from the African American communities themselves, at least as far as performers go, although the Georgia Sea Island Singers and the Menhaden Chanteymen are notable exceptions. Does anyone know of other African American singers who are preserving their traditions of sailor and fisherman work songs?
