VOCAL SOLO is a composition by Richard Bona
Live-Recording at hr-Sendesaal, Frankfurt, march 22nd 2018
African grooves, virtuoso bass lines and feather-light singing in the tradition of West African griots: Richard Bona weaves these ingredients into a music for head, heart and feet. Richard Bona built his first bass himself from crates and bicycle brake ropes. A French jazz club owner in Douala had played recordings of Jaco Pastorius to the thirteen-year-old Richard and thus pointed the way. Otherwise the Cameroonian might have become famous only as a singer. With his feathery falsetto singing, in which the West African Griot tradition is suspended, he is still enchanting. But it is his astonishing virtuosity on the electric bass that first paved Bona's way into the bands of Salif Keita and Manu Dibangu and finally into those of jazz fusion greats like Pat Metheny, Michael Brecker or Joe Zawinul. Richard Bona has long been a star himself and is now playing together the hr big band with his own music.
deutsch:
Afrikanische Grooves, virtuose Basslinien und federleichter Gesang in der Tradition westafrikanischer Griots: Richard Bona verwebt diese Zutaten zu einer Musik für Kopf, Herz und Füße. Seinen ersten Bass baute sich Richard Bona selbst aus Kisten und Fahrrad-Bremsseilen zusammen. Ein französischer Jazzclub-Besitzer in Douala hatte dem Dreizehnjährigen Platten von Jaco Pastorius vorgespielt und damit die Richtung gewiesen. Andernfalls wäre der Kameruner vielleicht nur als Sänger berühmt geworden. Mit seinem federleichten Falsettgesang, in dem die westafrikanische Griot-Tradition aufgehoben ist, verzaubert er noch immer. Aber es ist seine Staunen machende Virtuosität auf dem E-Bass, die Bona zunächst den Weg in die Bands von Salif Keita und Manu Dibangu ebnete und schließlich in die von Jazzfusion-Größen wie Pat Metheny, Michael Brecker oder Joe Zawinul. Längst selbst ein Star, kommt Richard Bona jetzt mit seiner eigenen Musik zur hr-Bigband.

Richard Bona doesn’t just play music
He is MUSIC 🎵 🎼✨🎶
Richard Bona is everything I wanna be as a performer and composer 🖤🔥. Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
I didn't know my Nigeria brothers know Richard Bona. He is the definition of a musician and composer.
Cameroon 🇨🇲 to the world
Cameroon is a continent
Il n’a même pas besoin des musiciens 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🔥🤞🏾
Le continent
I could listen to this man all the day long, his music gives peace of mind
Is music is a medecine bro❤
For sure
Who else likes the way he looks like a classic Pirate who makes good music!
Me!! Regards from Auckland, New Zealand!!!
i dont like that. We just had a beautiful moment of realization that after centuries of hatred and superficial judgement, we've come a bit closer to each other. So I don't like immediately after going "oh he looks like a pirate".
2024 still here, more love from kenya ❤❤❤
Cameroon is a continent
Mazeee ndio hiyo,Kenyan musicians ni wanaa!
🎉
Weeee mzee tupo humu
For anyone who's used a loop pedal: I dare you to get this level of syncopation and fluid tone. Incredible stuff.
I was there. Thank you, Richard, for the magic night. 🥰
I can not imagine how it was.. 😇😇🙏🙏
Richard Bona is Music!!! He should be studied as an institution!!!!
couldn't agree more
🔥
🤣
@@Uchawibeatz esww sds
Right to the core bruh
La plus grande puissance du monde ces l'Afrique
What really touches me are the faces of the entire bigband stuck in absolute delight, enjoying the moment. Bona is unbelievable!
I know right :) I want my future husband to look at me like that :) :)
We are two now...
Those faces... Priceless
Yes, I was struck by the same thing. Part wonder, part enjoyment. They look like little kids. This is what music is supposed to do---draw people together. Made me cry, haha.
But I can’t understand how they can stand still, without moving their bodies with such a massive amount of groove. Come on buddies, let yourself enjoy the moment and dance! Richard Bona is amazing 🙏🏼
History in the making.
Proud to be Cameroonian.
God of Jazz lives in Africa, what Westerners go to school for we do naturally.
Le continent
Richard Bona a intégré toutes les musiques du monde et nous donne à entendre une musique universelle. Excellent, merci !
Producer: Hey Richard, how many musicians do you want on stage to look at you while you do your show?
Richard Bona: Yes
😆

His vocal quality and singing abilities are even crazier when you consider that he's also the best bass guitarist in the world. just a legend!!!
Tes une légende je valide .une classe hors pair, tes l'instrumentiste et l'instrument au même moment .chapeau l'artiste
Very, very Mesmerizing to watch! Richard Bona, the modern day Michael Jackson from Cameroon 🇨🇲 Africa to the world 🌎
If musical perfection was a human ... Good music does not need a language (or instruments) to be appreciated
Nothing but Talent
This is more than talent bro. It is talent that has been worked.
How does people dislike performances like this?
People from the depths of hell
Kpop fans
Thanks hr-Bigband for these amazing HQ recordings of the performances. What an incredible composer, singer & bassist Richard Bona is, so mesmerizing. Between 2:10 to 3:00 he is singing an indian song by Kailash kher called Teri Dewaani. Just goes to show how much of depth and understanding Richard Bona has of world music. Cheers!
Richard Bona thank you for making people from all culture to get closer, to get better
czcams.com/video/n2hk0wunAiw/video.html
Dieu existe en écoutant des mélodies aussi divine
Que pourrait-on dire sur un génie, autre que c'est un génie ? !!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Mister Bona a sorti l'Afrique de son berceau, Grand Merci
Un virtuose. Fière d'être camerounais. Merci Richard Bona
Like from Saint Petersburg! Russia, great!
His tone is one of the greatest and purest things I’ve ever heard. And I don’t think I heard him sing of key once this entire video
👍🏼🤗👏❤🕉
he is never off key...the voice of an angel.
Tonton Bona j'aime tellement ta musique❤❤❤
Richard Bona, my music idol
People who can work with a loop recorder or whatever it's called while performing live have always been on a next level for me...
Omg the legend Richard bona singing kailash kher's Teri diwani !!!! This is freaking awesome! 2:08
is he though ? or does it just sound like that ?
@@erebus_chaosson He actually did. But messed up a bit with lyrics at few places. That may be due to difference in language but nonetheless he definitely is extremely talented.
@@Road_to_Sucess45 oh of course was never doubting his talent ... just wondered if the resemblance was intentional or coincidental
@@erebus_chaosson yeah I got ya. The resemblance to the song is definitely intentional. He purposely sang it.
Les blanc là Wanda seulement 😂😂😂😂
Respect papa bona 🇨🇲👌
je t'assure mon frère
En Afrique y en plus que lui hélas !! Chapeau à toi champion je t aimes depuis le Gabon
Vrement incroyable, tu es une bibliothèque Mélodieque %%%
Je ne m'arrête pas d'écouter ce Génie ❤️🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
I love you, Richard !! ♥️♥️
Congratulations Le Grand Richard Bona comments faire pour intégrer votre groupe suis au Cameroun plus précisément à Douala sus fanne de vous oooh
When a real Africa meet a real Europe
Fabuleux
Slow down pleeeaase. Let's not take a single - talented - guy for a Culture. Lots of whiteys can emulate what he sings. And he sings whatever. His bass grooves - that's art. What he sings, is as unique as anything any one of us can find in the backyard. Lets not exagerate with the pricks of conscience.
Wojtek Z Damn, you look very uncomfortable with what he said
La musique sommeille en lui c'est corps âme et esprit.Il viens de la terre mère Africa
Un génie de la musique et le plus grand de nos ambassadeurs. Chapeau l' artiste

Perfect Pitch confirmed. No need further examination sir Bona.
Or really good relative pitch
Could be, but i highly doubt it 😅
WOW my head exploded and my heart expanded
Vivement un Conservateur de musique au Cameroun pour les générations futures.
Unbearable beauty, absolutely fantastic and it still has some 100 thumb downs. How can anyone hate this. This world is twisted.
The GOAT . They’re not understanding. He should be studied as an instrument, this is not music…He is MUSIC.
He really understands music
His music breaks all boundaries
Unbelievable talent in one soul 🔥 🔥 🔥

Papa BONA vous êtes une bénédiction pour l’Afrique et pour la musique 🎵
Genius

Richard Bona is a true legend of all time..... I always look up to him... He's the best
This man changed my life in 2006 when he came to Victor Wooten's Music camp. He is amazing.
je t'écoute depuis total Yannick à Yaoundé au Cameroun ❤❤❤❤❤
I was hoping the performance never ended
Me too
Was very original, creative, delightful, and absolutely magical! Richard Bona's deep connection with his African sources (specifically from a place called Cameroon) and overflowing musical genius set him apart.
What do some people gain from Disliking?? 52 unlikes. Unbelievable. You must really have hate in you to dislike something this good.
I agree with you. What is wrong with the performance? Some people are consumed by envy.
Music that makes you spellbound! Kudos to Africa and Cameroon's very own Bona 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Une vrai fierté africaine 😍😍
This makes me want to cry and laugh at the same time
And again I couldn't agree more! The sheer beauty touches me deep inside!
Thanks
I'm personally overjoyed when I hear this
Wouaouhhh thank you so much Sir for this master piece. Your're a genius .Much love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Richard un musicien d'un autre planète extraterrestre.
I live in China and played at a jazz club called Lavo in Shenzhen… I played with this two dudes from Mauritius that swore Richard was the best musician they’d ever seen. I gave them a bunch of Phish and the Dead and Zappa (being a typical American) but they’re exposing me to Richard was way more of a musical gift…
I love this man.. he's an outstanding musician
Whaoooouuu !!!!!! Atmosphérique !!!!!! Sauvage et propre! Whaoooooooooooooo!!! Camerounais depuis le Gabon
I like to hear a genuine and amazing singer.
