Bring Me Little Water, Sylvie is one of those timeless folk songs that carries emotion in every note, and the Women of the Sea Chanters Chorus deliver it with breathtaking beauty. Their harmonies flow together like waves, soft but powerful, giving the song a depth that feels both intimate and expansive. From the very first line, their voices create an atmosphere that draws you in and holds you gently.

This song has deep roots in African-American work song tradition, originally sung to ease the weight of labor and hardship. In this choral version, that history is honored and elevated. The arrangement keeps the simplicity of the original but layers in rich, warm tones that highlight the song’s emotional core — longing, connection, and the human need for comfort.

The Women of the Sea Chanters Chorus perform with a sincerity that feels almost spiritual. There’s a raw honesty in their delivery, as if they’re singing directly from their hearts. Each harmony, each breath, adds to the storytelling, creating a sense of unity that makes the performance unforgettable.
