The “Wellerman” is a sea shanty type folk song that originated from the country of New Zealand in the 1940s.  A couple of years ago, there wasn’t a ton of recordings of it found on YouTube or Spotify.  However, a Scottish musician named Nathan Evans made a recording of this song, and it became a big hit on TikTok.  As of now, there are multiply recordings of Evans’ release of this folk song, and his music video for this song has 184 million views at the time that I am writing this.  I chose this song because it is the most recognizable song to come out of the region of Oceania and from the country of New Zealand.  Also, who doesn’t love a good Sea Shanty?
