Tuco et les Frères Déjean – “Tonton Relax”
Macaya 1981
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.
Let’s see, we’ve got us another classic album

I couldn’t agree with you more Moos. I’ve been smitten with Compas ever since you first posted Les Loups Noirs. Thanks for the grooves ;)
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.
