| | Jamaican music - definition of Jamaican music in Encyclopedia |
 | | Mento was the first style of Jamaican music to be recorded. | | | In Jamaican music, the DJ is the one who talks (known elsewhere as the MC) and the selector is the person who chooses the records. | | | Jamaican music has also had an effect on the musical development of other countries, such as the practice of toasting, which was brought to New York City and became rapping, one of the four elements of hip hop, and such popular British styles as Lover's rock and jungle. |

| | Mento Music: Edric Connor, Louise Bennett and Jamaican Folk Music |
| | These are Jamaican folk music recordings, not mento. | | | Sheet music published 1947 in the UK Though not recorded as often as mento, non-mento Jamaican folk music does have a history on vinyl. | | | As mento music was first developing in Jamaica from a variety of influences, it is likely that the first lyrics used in mento music came from Jamaican folk songs. |

| | In Trinidad calypso music is generally sung to a guitar, maracas and steel drum (oil drums modified and tuned) accompaniment that establishes a complex counter rhythm with the voice of the singer in a style based on the percussion rhythms of native African music. | | | Unlike dancehall in which the music often overshadows the lyrics, in Dub Poetry the message is emphasized. | | | Robert Nesta Marley, the undisputed King of Reggae Music. |

| | Unlike its predecessors, Reggae musical structure is not of primary importance in the analysis of the music. | | | Jamaican Music has evolved due to ever changing musical and cultural influences surrounding the island. | | | While Jamaican music evolved rhythmically by absorbing African and Caribbean rhythms, African American music evolved harmonically by absorbing elements of European music. |

| | Jamaica Gleaner - Jamaican music lacks mainstream support - Sunday November 5, 2000 |
| | What is more is that rap is a direct offshoot of dancehall music. | | | What is evident from this foregoing scenario is that the promotion of "dancehall music" in particular and reggae music in general, has not been addressed in a structured manner as there are no Jamaican owned and controlled international media outlets to assume this responsibility. | | | In the case of popular Jamaican music, its failure to secure wide international acceptance is due to an absence of consistent airplay on mainstream media outlets. |
