This set from Daptone Records selects several of the sides el Rego et Ses Commandos recorded and released during those years, and assembled by Afro-soul collector and DJ Frank Gossner, it makes for a fun, joyous, and combustible playlist and functions as well as a solid introduction to this charismatic performer.
