Tsiboe appeared on the last three Boney M. albums: ''Ten Thousand Lightyears'' (1984), ''Kalimba de Luna - 16 Happy Songs'' (1984) and ''Eye Dance'' (1985) and also recorded Christmas songs with the group, which were internationally released only after the split of the band on the new Boney M. Christmas album, ''The 20 Greatest Christmas Songs'' in 1986. Reggie sang the main vocals on a number of Boney M. songs, including "Kalimba de Luna", "Happy Song", "Going Back West", "My Chérie Amour", "Young, Free and Single", "Bang Bang Lulu", "Dreadlock Holiday", "Barbarella Fortuneteller", "Mother and Child Reunion" and the Christmas songs "Joy to the World", "Oh Christmas Tree", "The First Noël" and "Auld Lang Syne".
On 21 September 2006, Tsiboe and the two other lead singers of Boney M., Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett, were guests in London at the premiere of the musical ''Daddy Cool'', which is based on the music of the group.{{Citation needed|date=December 2025}}
