Setter given books on old West Indian music (5)

I believe the answer is:

mento

'west indian music' is the definition.

'setter given books on old' is the wordplay.
'setter' becomes 'me' (the setter of the clue).
'given' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'books' becomes 'nt' (New Testament).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'me'+'nt'+'o'='MENTO'

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
