About The Jolly Boys
A mento quartet from Port Antonio, Jamaica, formed 1955. They perform with bongos, banjo, rhumba box & kalimba / finger-piano. In the 50s, they were popular at The Trident Hotel & parties for ‘the rich’n’famous’, e.g. at Errol Flynn’s residence.
In the late 80s, interest was renewed, when Jules Shear heard them playing at the Trident – he returned later & produced Pop ‘N’ Mento & other albums. A new album – Great Expectation – is slated for release, late 2010. Official site: Furious.com/perfect/JollyBoys.html Read more on Last.fm
