Just seen these guys on the BBC, with the record deal, spottted them a little while ago cos me and my fiance love listening to shanty type songs, since we saw a band at the mathew street festival in Liverpool while we were dating, I think I'll be buying their CD!
Kanaka, was the common seamans name for guys from the Pacific Islands, specificly the Sandwich Islands, or as we know it of course Hawaii. Richard Henry Dana's book has some good stories about the Kanaka's
It really is quality over those singers....soooo in tune..:

I'm fifteen and I've seen them every year without fail for fifteen years. The best shanty singers of Cornwall!

"Kanaka" literally means "man" in Hawaiian.
