Blue Glaze Mento Band

Well supported

Mento band formed in 1967 in May Pen, Clarendon, and long counted among Jamaica's finest. Stanley Beckford chose the band to back his two albums of 2002, which took them to an international audience, and their own album We Will Wait followed in 2011 with guest appearances by Toots Hibbert, Bunny Wailer and the ska era singer Stranger Cole.
