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 is one of the most gifted God-given indigenous, ingenious bassists ever! Everything with him even his voice is very organic...
I love his playing and he is an amazing player. What I don't agree with is the "God-given" part of this. It focuses on the idea that he was mostly lucky to be given something by a god. What is clear from his interviews is that he has spent countless hours practicing, transcribing, listening, and dedicating his time to playing music in many other ways. If someone is willing to work that hard and actually puts in the thousands upon thousands of hours, they WILL become excellent. I know the intention of your comment is good, but this is something he worked hard on to earn, not just some sort of gift he happened to be just lucky to receive.
@@luismigelgb Interestingly, all gifts and talents...whether innate or learnt, IS GIVEN BY GOD - creator of humans.
@@theraymondokpara totally wrong mannn... That's why some lazy men are satisfied with living a bellow par life; just because they think if they are to receive anything, it must come from God🤕
Only Hard Work pays!!!
Work hard and you stand a chance to succeed, no matter if you pray or not!!!
Pray without working and you will tell me🙄
Yea, it is true ❤️
@@theraymondokparathere is no such thing as talent. Only practice, discipline and consistensy. God has nothing to do with it😂
Richard Bona is a world-musician in its deepest meaning. Being an outstanding, marvellous bassist, he makes the world smaller by bringing his musical roots to us in a very sexy way. The hr-bigband is also a gift to us in times of money-saving tv-stations. I am shure: Mr. Bona and the hr-bigband together will go up in musical history!
It is always a pleasure to click this concert!
You are right ! brilliant analysis !!! I think we have found here the the real true children of Mingus, Ellington, Basie, Gil Evans, etc...
@@alexdesslin So we both speek the same language, where ever you live.
Great music. But something seems puzzling: Has anyone else wondered, why there's not one single woman being present on this stage?
Are you assuming their genders?
@@Gruuvin1 😂 thank you
Richard Bona is nothing other than a treasure for humankind. Wish him all the best!
just like the late oliver mutukudzi
Vive l'Afrique par ta si belle musique le grand Bona
I know, world class musicians. But damn that sound guy really knows what he is doing.
Ce qui démarque plus Richard Bona c'est sa façon de toucher le monde...Rire avec les spectateurs, les faires chante, une minute de blague...Et garde toujours son sourire tout accordant le mouvement du corps avec sa guitare. C'est un art la musique mais aussi un don.
Mon Dieu cette bande est magnifique ! Avec Richard, vous auriez créé la musique si elle n'existait pas !
Thank you Bruno! This is one of our concert highights!
@@hrbigband J'adore vraiment ce que vous faites et j'espère que je serai un jour à un de vos concerts
You're always welcome to our concerts! Stay tuned for our next livestreams here on yuoutube!
Richard Bona, your music is stronger than magic. Obosso!
Merci RICHARD BONA pour tout!!! un jour ils comprendront l'impact que tu as eu sur le monde pour faire connaitre la culture de notre beau pays le CAMEROUN!!!
L'un des plus grands artistes de la planète
N'ayons pas une vision limitée sur le talent de notre frère Richard Bona car il représente aussi l'Afrique et cela n'enlève rien qu'il soit Camerounais. La musique est universelle
WTF , this is more than perfect
Ninja 🥷 are you originated from the same planet people like,Newton, Nicolas Tesla, Einstein came from?🙏🏽🙏🏽💕💕
Awesome .
Great instrumentalists, these musicians make you travel with their notes. The Clarinetist and the guitarist were inspired. Richard Bona is highly gifted, what a gift to the World, what a genius.
Richard bona devrais avoir son monument au cameroun . 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲. Im so proud of you
Am a trumpeter,a trumbonist,n a saxophonist, with the scales the hr.bigband are playing,i think it a heavenly improvisation.. Wish to join you guys one day.. Love the band n Richard..
"Eyala" hat mich in andere Sphären geführt. Grandioses Solo von Steffen Weber.
Papa BONA, Our Legend. Thanks Mr. BONA
Today I officially accept Jesus as my savior and this song plays while I pray. Thank God for the best decision I could have made!
🙏🙏🙏
Why did TH-cam chose this song?
Richard Bona keeps amazing me with his every performance...those two hours were well spent! The Bigband too, excellence redefined.
Thank you very much Ishmael Kerongo! :-)
Les mots me manquent mon grand Richard BONA c'est super
Incroyable ce que tu fais de la musique.
Que le Seigneur bénisse davantage ce talent qu'il a mis en toi
Merci pour tout
Très beau concert la magie seulement tu as finir avec grand frère
What a fantastic performance...Richard Bona, and all the musicians!! LOVE
Thanks Graham, we appreciate that! As you can see the video with Richard Bona is working good - and the music too.
It's delightful to listen to this marvelous band and to the great RB; Bona is a gift to the world, incredible talent!
2024 and still there! 😊
Wonderful Mr RICHARD BONA !!! The GREAT NINJA!!! 💪
Love you so much from Cameroon 🇨🇲🥰👌
Do not get bored watching this band, setting song by song, also a good arrangement. Individual improvisation in each song, very cool. Richard Bonna, a world musician, is very fortunate to be able to play with them. I noticed their glasses are almost the same, one type. I hope to see and listen to their collaboration again. Congratulations to Mike Mossman, and all the players, how cool you are ...
Exactly.. its truly our luck that we can hear this wonderful collaboration
C'est super bien
This is such a decent concert, cant believe my ears...
Richard Bona is amazing... The Band killed it...
Whoever did sound for this tho... needs a raise
You make Earth a better place, Richard! Always a pleasure to see and to listen you.
Thanks Lew, we hope so!
Great arrangements....the Band were really enjoying the gig...I was lucky enough to see RB in London a few years ago.....a genius spreading joy where ever he goes....a wonderful ambassador for Africa.....😄..
Unfortunately, his home country Cameroon does not appreciate this gift of a genius given to them
tous mes respects l'artiste
Thank u so very much Sir. Richard Bona for representing our beautifully country ❤ Cameroon 🇨🇲/ Cameroun/Kamerun. In such a big way . 💞✌🏿🙏😍
39:48 The cameraman and the producer got confused here for a minute. The solo was from Bona's Bass. So funny :-D
Richard Bona, what a genius! What a band, what magical arrangements, what wonderful soloists, it's a blessing to hear this. I'm a big fan! Bravo HR2!
Richard Bona ou le Génie qui partage sa culture musicale dans sa richesse linguistique camerounaise. Magnifique ! Exceptionnelle !
I proud to be a Cameroonian
If I could just ever meet Richard Bona, my dream would come true.
i feel the same dear or let said i dream to same
He is a very accessible man and very down to earth. I met him in Washington DC at the French embassy after a great performance.
Bravo pour votre travail et votre professionnalisme 🙏❤️🇨🇺💯🎶👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The comping by the pianist is excelllent with all these horns He can be heard! Hi lines are short, alot quartals chords which more appropriate when so many instruments are involved
Are you a musician? I'm you Are.
Richard Bona #the_best
The voice And the Big Band its fantastic Danka From Canada
Many play Sound. RICHARD BONA just does MUSIC !!!
We definitely agree! :-)
I love how he retouches all the songs in every concert. You'd never be bored following him through every concert he plays.
You are so right! We heard him on several occasions and livestreams and he is always retouching his music. "Phantastique"!
I love when he plays with big bands. They’re like an extension of his brain.
What an amazing Band😍 I fall in love with you guys. Big up also to the wondeful Richard Bona😊 what a musician!
Cela fait au moins dix fois que je regarde ce concert, magnifique et les musiciens sont au top. Richard n'en parlons pas. J'ai surtout aimé comment ses chantons ont été revisité par cet orchestre de jazz. Du pur bonheur. Camair toujours fort. ce Week end le gars qu'on paye pour taper les gens va encore faire des dégâts. je sais que les Camair sont forts wèèèè
Oui ils son magnific

Richard Bona Merci pour ces moments de pur bonheur. Tu es unique en ton genre, un talent de genie
Excellent arranging and playing, with some inspired solos, but some rather less so. Remarkable also for showing the guitarist for almost all of Bona's first bass solo. Shoot the editor...
