Imagine a Jamaican mento band singing the Amy Winehouse hit “Rehab”. Believe it! Listen to The Jolly Boys who’ve created their new music genre called- modern mento.

With an average age of 70, dressed to the nines and singing with passion, these three guys may remind you of the Buena Vista Social Club from Cuba, yet their style and passionate spin on this song is all their own.

Check where they’ll be performing next in Europe at http://jollyboysmusic.com/tours.php
