I can hear the similarity between mento guitar and reggae guitar. Mento contributed a lot to reggae, and to a lesser extent to ska and rocksteady. Early reggae (1968-72) was basically rocksteady back-crossed with ska and mento. Or as a Jamaican pamphlet from 1969 put it, "One part rocksteady, one part mento, a hint of ska tempo, bring to the boil with an increasing social consciousness, and you have reggae!"
i have to listen to this for music in my school
Big ups! Thanks for posting.

And Motown music, which definitely lended a spiritual, cultural, and, musical influence to reggae.

thanks for posting this --- it's news for me, never knew reggae's history. this is great, love the music and the rhythm
It was the fusion of mento influences with rhythm'n'blues that gave birth to ska, which in turn evolved into rocksteady and eventually reggae.
