By no means a comprehensive collection of the merengue artist's repertoire, the
Jossie Esteban y La Patrulla 15 best-of,
Todo Exitos, Vol. 1, issued by Plantano Records, is a set of 12 of his songs, though none of them are among his most famous ("El Tiguerón," "El Moreno," "Noche de Copas"). Still, there are some ("Otra Vez Bebiendo," "Me Quiene Chavar," "A la Mujer del Vecino, Se la Estan...") that have previously been -- and will continue to be -- compiled, and even if the tracks aren't the best-known ones, they're still fun, enjoyable merengue pieces that are great to dance to, or just enjoy while thinking about a night out in the Dominican Republic. ~ Marisa Brown
