Cool!

Real old Jamaican quadrille music😊..love it..for a little country we have so many different genre .

This song is not about donkey My goodness I just figured it out 😂😂😂😂😂

My mum used to play these songs to send me off for my afternoon nap.

The Mootoo Brothers are my grandfather and uncle.

Sabroso

My country, the best!

Jimmy's all the way...

So fast tempo! Wow.

Brilliant.

Great memories of being a boy growing up in Jamaica

Are these the original songs or local variations?

This mento!!! Not calypso!!!

Awesome

Oh what a gem! Takes me back to my infancy when I just arrived in England and was introduced to our family radiogram listening to these well loved classics of the day. I must say it will never leave me and my memories of my birth place Jamaica

Good stuff.

Lovely and pioneering

Had only heard the Charlie Parker version, pleasantly surprised, this rocks and way before Rock and Roll was invented....

❤❤ Denne var virkelig flott fremført! Trivelig musikk. ❤❤Hans Brataas, Norge.

I remember this song when I used to go to all age school in Jamaica back in the 70s.

Fantastic !!

In the 1950s, Walcott, later Louis Farrakhan, began his professional music career as a singer billed as "The Charmer". At this point, earning $500 a week, Walcott was touring the northeastern and midwestern United States, sometimes also using the nickname "Calypso Gene". In 1953-1954, preceding Harry Belafonte's success with his album Calypso released in 1956.

I know this at a faster paced stick fighting song on Trinidad and Tobago. It was also sung by my maternal grandmother.

The Jeffersons on the Pluto App, had me in stitches when they danced and sang to this. Love it! Around 6 minutes into Season 4, Episode 5, when friend Helen visits and talks about her friends/fam from the West Indies and they danced and sang to this chorus, and Florence the maid was clowning on them. What a time to live. 🥰

Isn’t that gonna destroy the record?

Joseph was my mothers mentor in Bulgaria during the 60s

I got a ravaged Vestax QFO LE a year ago - was broken - now works - but cosmetically it’s in terrible condition. As though Vestax used some very poor material when they made these decks - the little casted standoffs have all but been snapped off right at their base. The holes where the screws hold the fader panels in place are all snapped as well. Maybe harsh environmental factors made this plastic stuff deteriorate or become too dry and brittle? So I’m ( slowly ) planning a sort of diy restoration - refab of this QFOLE’s shell. So many considerations to be made for every little detail. Maybe I get lucky and get my hands on a Controller one or OG QFO before I even get far with this one. I’m imagining that someone somewhere has some new, old stock of silver QFOs or better yet the Controller Ones…. After all I have a brand brand new PMC-05iii and 4 sets of Ortofon stylii waiting for the day I get new turntables!! THANKS for sharing!

The Late Great Blind Blake was one of The Bahamas' greatest artists.

Who puts scatching noise on the music ?

I Love Lynn Hope..

Jamaican Mento is about rhyming with cadence syncopated to the beat!

King Jammys super power, you miss something if you've never heard about this sound and recording studio. Buss so many stars.

Idk why but I woke up singing this had no idea what was going on so I had to google it

Loved this tune since first time of watching The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle about 14 years ago, its busy but for some reason really calming
