“Mento Star” is our tribute to “Gal a Gully,” a song in the genre of Jamaican mento made famous by mento icon “Lord Composer.” Mento is a pre-ska, pre-reggae form of Jamaican folk music that blends traditions brought to Jamaica by West Indian African with more European folk. Want to sing along? “If you want to be a mento star, if you want to be a mento star,
then show me your motion.” We love the phrase “show me your motion” — what a great way to say “get up and dance!”
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
