Lord Tanamo (Joseph Gordon) is best known as a ska performer. He enjoyed hits as the lead vocalist for The Skatalites, such as “I’m In The Mood For Ska”, in 1965. He continued to record at least through the late 1970s with singles and LPs for producers Coxsone Dodd, the Pottingers and Bunny Lee.

But Tanamo was an established mento star, who then moved to R&B before beginning his ska and reggae career.

This page concentrates on Tanamo and mento. As you will see, he never totally left mento behind. An with his most recent concert performances (as described at the bottom of this page) mento has book-ended this most distinguished career.

Brian Keyo provides the following biographical information on Lord Tanamo:

He was born October 2, 1934 in Kingston. First recorded for Stanley Motta and also cut for Khouri at his first place, 129 King Street. Dada Tawari recorded him in 1950’s and also released 78’s by him. (That’s Tanamo’s spelling of Tawari, BTW) Was MC and first vocalist of The Skatalites when they started in May 1964.

In an interview in Toronto Now, Tanamo recalled the beginning of his musical career,

“When I was about four years old [c. 1933] a fella, Cecil Lawes, came into my yard with a rumba box, which is similar to a marimba. I liked the sound from the first time I heard it. That’s where it all came from. Later, when I was a teenager, I began performing on the corner with Cecil and his rumba box. In the day I’d put on torn pants and a straw hat and sing calypso to hustle the tourists, and then at night I’d put on my suit and tie and sing ballads with a band. It was all just music to me.”
