That opened the path for several collaboration with other ensembles, particularly the famous Caribbean Sextet, which dominated the music scene in Haiti for many decades and of which he was the band leader and co-founder. Reginald’s discography includes nine solo recordings and his participation in numerous projects, including films. His album “Vinn Avem” meaning “Come with me” was selected to be in the pool of nominees for the Latin Grammy’s in 1994.
