CHANTICLEER: Dulaman 

Awesome piece, and awesome mustache at 1:07

I just want to say how much Chanticleer is helping my morning sickness 💖

I sang Dulaman (solo) with a french choir (Mikrokosmos Loïc Pierre) and gaelic is so hard for a frenchy like me!!!!!! but the masters are this men!!!

superb job!

Ya lolz we were there Sandy Creek High... it was Awesometastic!!

good old dulaman - great man

You touched this Irish man's heart!! WELL DONE LADS!!! BRAVO!!!! SLAINTE!!

I like a good male choral version of anything. I love Anúna's, Celtic Woman's, Clannad's, and Chanticleer's rendition of this song. Perfect performance. Great Job All

This is obviously the finest choir of any kind on the planet.

Back in 2019, still the best one on youtube

Me and my choir have to sing this whole song in a really important choir concert, and we’re only In the 8th grade.

thanks

We sang this for chorus- Starrs Mill High School in GA. Chanticleer actually came to our school and held a workshop with us and some other nearby schools. It was AWESOME!!!

WOW !!

Great job!

You guys are something else. -Friend of B.Finegan

This song is as much fun to sing as it is to listen. I was part of the small group chorus on Dulaman when the Appleton MacDowell Male Chorus did this song in our Irish concert, great fun.

i had the chance to hang out with these guys in switzerland this past sumer. all super sweet and talented.

Theyre doing a private session with our choir then performing at my highschool that same night!

Chanticleer is the United States Top mens vocal group. They are, i believe, the only full time, professional group of their kind in the country.

all version of dulaman are wonderful

Wow... There are so many different members than the last time I saw them.... And that was only 3 years ago... jeezy.

Chanticleer is amazing i got to do a Master Class with them! not only are they beastly singers they are great teachers as well!

Very beautiful piece, still something I have a problem understanding on a deep level, but something I am still able to appreciate! Amazing job.

Oh my word, I need this soloist in my life, like as a husband or something lol... I love you guys

YAY BEN!!!!

I sung this peace a lot of times myself. And it made me smile when I realized that even Chanticleer had trouble with the solo lyrics. 3rd Solo... :-)

I love how clean and cut it sounds. good diction, nice cutoffs, nice unity.

I sang the solo part for this piece in my university choir this year. It was fun.

Wow! I love these guys!

amazing soloist, amazing blend, amazing musicians.

Dude, MLK sounded great! you guys did a fantastic job with the songs you sang!

aw man! i got chills! its beautiful!

I love this! ^^

that is effing phenomenal!!!!!!!!!!

Maravilhoso, parabéns!

Awesome execution!

Yah that dude with the mustache is the only original member of the group - and an a great bass as well. The whole group just takes one's breath away.

The soloist's name is Mark Sullivan. Saw him perform with Chanticleer twice. He is based in New York now.

hey it's Ben Johns! great performance!!

This song is amazing, especially when I saw what is translates to...

@bwaybaby022 They do, it's just a matter of sneaking breaths, and if you listen closely enough you will hear that they do take quick breaths at regular intervals.

This song is in their album "Wondrous Love".

We're doing this song in my choir but we don't go THAT fast. These guys are great though, and once you get into it, it's kinda a fun song. :)

you guys sang dulaman right??? THAT WAS AWESOME!! on the bus ride back to school.... we were talking about it!!! AGAIN IT WAS AWESOME!!

@Goatmon Professor Brack used to be in chanticleer? No way! I'm in one his classes right now and I would of never thought!

The Seaweed is a metaphor. Most "Gaelic" aka Irish songs are written in Metaphor.

I only know the slow way. This is COOL!

Very impressive

cool

I'm in the Starr's Mill men's chorus. I just recently put up the videos I got of chanticleer singing, so you should check them out!

did anyone know that this song is about different types of seaweed? i never knew that sea life is so intense.

Amazing! I like Anuna's version a bit more, but still this was good!

Seaweed?

@fulerguy Also, my first semester working with him, I was so not used to all the stress of performance. By the end of our show, last may, I was so tired I could barely stand up. No joke! And If you're curious, go ahead and ask him about it! Also, tell him Daniel (The big guy with the beard) says hello!

I Wish I Could Sing This In My Choir

@bwaybaby022 Stagger breathing at it's best. So goooood.

I did a bit of research on the lyrics: they are singing about seaweed.

@bwaybaby022 I believe they use circular breathing (breathing in excess air and storing it in the cheeks, and then using that air to keep your singing going while actually breathing in at the same time. I have not done this but I imagine it takes a LOT of practice to do it well.

Cantus' version is also really excellent.

@fulerguy Heck yeah! He is an excellent conductor, isn't he? And by excellent, I mean he works everyone's ass off to make sure we blow the audience away. And we certainly did, last fall, when performing this, and a bunch of other tunes we'd been working on for most of the semester.

@bwaybaby022 I've performed this song, under Brandon Brack who used to be in this group. You really don't get to breath much at all in this piece. Dx

why thank you!!! ill tell eveyone!! what choir were you with???

1:07 Just Epic

@tendoking48 Don't ask me, I don't really understand how it's done. :P

Great job! That song is sooooo difficult to sing. Excellent execution!

I'm a Tenor, but Eric Alatorre is my hero! lol

More familiar with Meav's version from Celtic Woman.

the fact that they can even speak gaelic is amazing. Even if they sang like poo-diddly, the fact that they pronounced the words is awesome!!

HOLY CRAP. that was awesome. ...but the guy at 1:06 has the most amazing mustache I've ever seen. its so pointy!

Anyone know what time signature this is in?

Know it's just I speak the language.

@Goatmon It's magic :p

ha, look at the guy starting at 1:02 his head jerk thing.

There Speaking Galic

So the bottom of the screen keeps twitching, and it looks like they're pelvic-wiggling. 0.o; But anyway. Most fun song ever. I try out for the first solo on Tuesday.

I have listened to this rendition and the one by Celtic Thunder. They are both great, but I prefer Celtic Thunder because it is slower and I can hear the words better. Speaking of words, can someone out there tell me what those words mean in English?

Sorry for my ignorance, but who is the soloist?

I think I prefer celtic thunder's version but this is still awesome.

What's the name of the soloist?

i think it's just the venue's acoustics

anywhere i can get sheet music for this?

@Goatmon In their cheeks? Then how are they singing? Air has to go past the larynx in order to vibrate it and produce a sound.

@bwaybaby022 they use circular breathing through their noses

17 people doesn't know what this song is translated!

@bwaybaby022 At their level, if you can't get a full breath in an 8th of a second, you won't be able to keep up. Some of it is staggered because it's not in 10 parts. So, they do somewhat cheat, but no, they can hold a ten measure phrase easily.

Seaweed!

i like anuna's interpretation. this sounds so heavy and dragging.

That mustache tho

98% Irish? How did you figure that out?

Nice enunciation of the words. Could have been a little more powerful I think. Maybe the concert hall kinda deadens the sound. Its such an epic song, which is hilarious being how its about sea weed.

@iomega88 That's not possible to do while singing: Circular breathing means you only use the air in your mouth to play your instrument whilst you fill your lungs with air by breathing through your nose. The reason circular breathing is not possible while singing is because you have to blow air past your throat into your mouth to sing. When you circularly breathing, you cut the flow of air into your throat from your mouth. Ergo, impossible to circularly breathe while singing. I wish I was wrong!

erm, sorry to laugh, and maybe i'm just being ignorant but is there any chance you might mean top male a cappella group? :P *giggle* and if that's what you do mean, then i'm afraid i disagree

hahaahhhah 1:06, the guy with the moustache. but anyways.. not the best version but still very impressive. good job. :)

You use circular breathing whilst playing an instrument, not singing. It has no effect whilst singing, because you need to move air past your larynx to create a sound. What you're seeing here is a mix of excellent breath support and extremely well coordinated staggered breathing.

I disagree. I think that chanticleer is the best there is and i don't see how it could have been better

Awesome piece, awesome group... not a good recording though. I absolutely hate audio limiters.

do they ever breathe?? gosh!

it's plausible that (s)he did 7 generations worth of genealogical research and found out that one of his/her great-great-great-great grandparents wasn't Irish... that'd account for 1.5625% of his/her ethnicity. Then, maybe (s)he rounded for the sake of this post. I wonder which side of the family capitalizes every word in a sentence? :-P I'd guess the 1.5625% might be German, but that'd only account for the nouns. Who capitalizes verbs anyway?!

Why do they look like that.
