Hello, what do you think about compas ? Isn’t it
just marvelous music ? Discovering more and more about
it. Some years ago I met with Rémi Joigneau from France,
he is one of the guys who put together the album; ‘Haïti
Goes Latin’. I added a small pic of the lp. The last track of
the record posted today is on it for instance, they used
vinyl copies like this one to make the album. Thanks
a lot for helping us out with all these killer compas
records Rémi, the world is enjoying them now
and in the future.

  1. I’m lucky enough to own many Freres DeJean lps and CDs and my memory is that all of them are better than this one, especially the last track. Their recent-ish videos on YouTube show they’re still a powerhouse.
