I'm a huge fan of sea shanties, two albums that are really good are Rogues Gallery and Son of Rogues Gallery. It's a bunch of artists from Nick Cave to Rufus Wainwright to Baby Gramps doing versions of old sea songs, some traditional, some experimental. I dig it.
The obvious pick nowadays is the musical about Hamilton.
Can't find a good video for the perfomance so heres the main cast singing at the white house

Also on the topic of broadway musicals, check Sondheim's Pacific Overtures. It's pretty great

This is actually the best Pacific Overtures song
