Mento is a style of Jamaican folk music that predates and has greatly influenced Ska and Reggae music. Mento typically features acoustic instruments, such as acoustic guitar, banjo, hand drums, and the rhumba box (which is a large mbira in the shape of a box that can be sat on while played.) The rhumba box carries the bass part of the music. Mento is a distinct style of Jamaican music as it draws its traditions from African slaves brought to the country with some European folk culture as well. Slaves were sometimes made to play music singing European folk songs which largely influenced the development of Mento. Inevitably, the slaves would infuse their own traditions with the music and it became common practice to sing Mento songs about social lives of the people. In Jamaica, Mento is sometimes referred to as country music, because of it light hearted and simplistic lyrics as well as the omitting of electric instruments. 

Mento came to real prominence in the 1940's and 1950's before being displaced by Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae. It was not until the 1950's that the first recordings were made and many of the more popular songs were pressed by Stannley Motta and Ivan Chin. Because of this early recordings of traditional mento are difficult to find. To this day, Mento is still listened to in Jamaica but mostly be heard in tourist destinations.

When the fire spread from room 6A, no sprinklers activated and no fire alarms went off. The crew found out the ship was on fire when a passenger ran screaming up a stairway, his clothes smoldering, and collapsed. Other passengers learned of the danger by hearing shouting and commotion in the hallways. It was the middle of the night. They had never been informed of safety protocols. A general panic ensued, with people bolting out of their rooms and running screaming through the corridors. A young Jamaican Winston Drysdale  was  one of the crew members and helped to rescue may of the passengers . He was hailed as a hero . He also feared  for his life because in his mind this was just not an ordinary accidental fire. He believe that the real and true story is yet to be told . Now 74 years he is ready to talkabout what he thinks happened on the illfaithed SS Yarmouth Castle.

Passengers trapped in their rooms by the smoke and flames . Some broke portholes and windows and leaped into the sea. Those  were only 4 life boat activated becused most of them were burned up. The captin was the first to leave the ship..that meant he abanded the ship. He did not announce that the ship was on fire neither did he call for the life boats to be activated. They is much more to the story said mr. Drysdale. More to come...
