⚫️🟢🟡⚫️🎼🪇🪘 #FOLKMUSIC Traditional Jamaican Mento Music is a lively, acoustic folk style that predates reggae and ska. Originating in the 19th century, mento blends African rhythms with European musical forms. It features instruments like the banjo, rumba box, guitar, and hand drums. Lyrics often tell humorous or satirical stories about everyday life. Mento’s upbeat, syncopated rhythm remains a symbol of Jamaican heritage and culture. #mentomusic #mento #traditional #folkmusic #folklore #heri
