Sea shanties

Sea shanties are working songs commonly sung aboard ships by sailors. They were especially common among navy men and pirates. The shanty consisted of two parts, the chant and the chorus. The chant would often be initiated by a single crewman who would sing the opening lines and establish the beat. The chorus would come and the rest of the crew would join in.

When Edward Kenway sailed the Caribbean and the West Indies, he could request his crew to sing various shanties.
