the album cover for Lititz Mento Band - Dance Music & Working Songs

As late as the 1960s the cheerfully elated rhythms of mento would be found at every village festival. In the age of modern and Afro-American pop music, however, the most important and oldest folk tradition of Jamaica - which developed from the displaced Africans' contact with European music - has fallen increasingly into the shadows. With violin, banjo, guitar, and rumba box this famous Jamaican group presents a piquant potpourri of mentos, folk tunes, religious songs, and American hits. The songs are not infrequently lewd, and they treat daily life with humor and satire.

Tracklist:

  1. Quadrille (Instrumental)
  2. Born Jamaican
  3. Rivers Of Babylon / Lion Of Judah
  4. Man Of Montego Bay
  5. Island In The Sun
  6. Day Oh!
  7. Fan Me Soldier Man
  8. Linstead Market
  9. Shaving Cream (Instrumental)
  10. Little Girl In Kingston Town
  11. Grader Man
  12. Revival Man
  13. Tennessee Waltz
  14. Weel An' Tune (Instrumental)
