Richard Bona

With Richard Bona, the bass is in turn the foundation of the orchestra, a telluric sensation, groove creator, melody designer and dance leader. His relationship to the instrument is so fluid that we forget the hard school of the trade that allows him to perform technical gestures as sharp as graceful...

Adored by Quincy Jones who highlights him in the documentary devoted to him, Richard Bona likes to vary the experiences (at La Seine Musicale, we still remember his incendiary duo with the Cuban pianist Alfredo Rodriguez).

But it is too little to say: this musician of Cameroonian origin is a kind of Swiss knife because he also knows how to sing, hum, give the distribution, as he did with all the stars who gravitate around jazz and beyond. The group he will present at the Auditorium is a tailor-made creation accompanied for this occasion by exceptional musicians for our greatest pleasure.

An unprecedented training that will speak to the mind as much as to the body, served by compositions where the spells of rhythm and melodic genius are combined.
