Биография
The Jolly Boys, founded in the 1940s in Port Antonio, Jamaica, have a storied history of performing at Hollywood parties and beyond. Known for their unique Mento sound, they introduced the versatile Albert Minott to the stage, who wowed audiences with his daring feats and musical talent. Despite line-up changes and the passing of time, The Jolly Boys remained timeless, even making their mark at the Montreal Jazz festival in 2003. In 2005, facing health challenges among the band members, Minott returned, revitalizing the group with his charismatic energy. A pivotal moment arrived in 2009, when they were invited to record at the Geejam in-house studio. Here, they recorded a unique rendition of Amy Winehouse's "Rehab," leading to the release of their 'Modern Mento' album, "Great Expectations," in 2011. Their reimagined sound led to international tours, festival performances, and even supporting Sade on her European tour. However, as the pandemic hit and key members passed away, The Jolly Boys returned to their folk roots. With the recent passing of Harry Belafonte, a champion of Mento music, they release their latest album, "Day-O," as a tribute to his lasting impact. Today, the echoes of this legendary band can still be heard playing their original acoustic set at select locations in Port Antonio.
