Mento is a style of Jamaican folk music that dates back to the early 20th century. It is a fusion of African and European musical elements, and is characterized by its upbeat rhythms and lighthearted lyrics. Mento is often seen as the precursor to ska and reggae music, and is still popular in Jamaica today. It is typically performed with acoustic instruments such as banjos, guitars, and hand drums.
