Zouk anthem by Guadeloupean musician Henry-Wenceslas Thenard, who released a handful of killer funk, cadence, disco, gwoka, and zouk albums—including the masterpiece Direct Dance: New Sound of Guadeloupe.
This 12” doesn’t appear on any of his albums, making it a proper hidden gem. A true floor-filler blending Caribbean rhythms with LinnDrum patterns, synths, funky guitar, and tight horn sections. Even more surprising—everything is sung in Lingala, an unexpected twist for a French West Indies release.
One of the best tracks from the early Zouk scene in Guadeloupe, to rank with Kassav', N.S.I Group, Milton, Régis Tareau, Sadi Lancreot...
Record is strong VG++ /EX Sleeve is clean but has large damage water mark.
