Mento is a Folk Music genre that originated in Jamaica during the late 19th century. It combines African musical traditions with influences from European styles, particularly British sea shanties and folk songs. Mento typically features acoustic instruments like the banjo, guitar, and rumba box, and its lyrics often reflect everyday life, social issues, and humor. The genre is considered a precursor to reggae and has had a lasting impact on Jamaican music culture.
