Mento is a unique genre of Jamaican folk music with deep historical roots that extend far beyond tourist stereotypes. The new album by a leading ensemble led by Culture George demonstrates an authentic, albeit occasionally technically unrefined, sound featuring traditional instruments like the banjo and rhumba box. The repertoire includes calypso classics, early reggae rhythms, and familiar folk motifs. Despite a certain raw quality in the performance, the record stands out due to the vocal charm of the artists and a sincere, lighthearted atmosphere that reveals the true character of the genre.
