The Jolly Boys are a legendary mento band from Port Antonio, Jamaica. Formed way back in the 1940s, these guys have been keeping the spirit of mento music alive for decades. Mento, for those who don't know, is a Jamaican folk music that predates and influenced ska and reggae. The Jolly Boys have seen various lineup changes over the years, but they've always stayed true to their roots, pumping out those catchy, upbeat tunes that'll make you want to dance.

These mento masters have had quite the resurgence in recent years. They've released albums like "Great Expectation" which features some cool mento covers of modern pop songs, and "Classic Mento From Port Antonio" which is exactly what it says on the tin. The Jolly Boys have toured internationally, bringing their unique sound to audiences around the world. Their music is a perfect blend of traditional Jamaican vibes and contemporary flair, making them a hit with both old-school mento fans and newcomers to the genre.
