Mento originated in Jamaica during the early 20th century. It is a traditional Folk Music genre that combines African rhythmic influences with European musical elements. Mento often features acoustic instruments like the banjo, guitar, and marimba, and its lyrics typically reflect everyday life, social issues, and humor. The genre laid the groundwork for the development of reggae and other Caribbean music styles.
