Dúlamán

(Redirected from Dulaman)

"Dúlamán" (Irish for "channel wrack", a type of edible seaweed) is an Irish folk song.

Tá ceann buí óir ar an dúlaman – "Channel wrack has a golden yellow head"

The lyrics of the song relate to the Irish practice of gathering seaweed, which has been done for various purposes, including as fertilizer, bathing, and food.[1]

The song title was used in 2016 as the name for an Irish music and dance show called Dúlamán - Voice of the Celts [de], which competed in the finals of the German talent show Das Supertalent in 2017.[2]

The song was used both on its own and as a motif of the 2014 Irish animated film "Song of the Sea".
