So the guitar player suggested trying in Angolan lingala, and it worked ! It was all about the feeling&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Henry&#8217;s &#8220;New Sound of Guadeloupe&#8221; is influenced by Mighty Sparrow&#8217;s Calypso, Soca, as well as by James Brown&#8217;s funk music. That&#8217;s probably why the brass ensemble was supposed to be much louder on the original track.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The people who did the mixing did not do their job correctly, they almost erased those brasses ! That&#8217;s why you should never have your mix done by someone else without being present&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Henry never managed to record the album he has always dreamt of. When asked if he would be down to record it in the upcoming years, he says:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course ! But I would have to practice again a bit. If I am going to record an album at almost 70 years old, I am going to do it well !&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Henry Wenceslas Thenard&#8217;s<em> Ne Dis Pas Cela<\/em>\u00a0will be out on April 1st on\u00a0Atangana Records.
