Richard Bona Quintet
Event
He has been called the “African Sting”, he's been selected as the reincarnation of Jaco Pastorius, but Richard Bona's unique and electrifying is beyond comparison. An authentic musician, with a captivating voice and a virtuoso bass player, a fabulous creator of songs and always faithful to his roots. Born and raised in Cameroon, Richard Bona arrived in New York in the mid-1990s and wowed crowds with his unusual sound and stage presence. He showed his true personality with an impressive debut in 1999: “Scenes From My Life”. In 2002 he toured the world as a member of the Pat Metheny Group, and more recently created the Mandekan Cubano group, which delves into African, South American and Cuban roots. With seven albums released and multiple awards, he equally captivates jazz, pop, Afro-beat and funk audiences. An excellent start to the Jazz Cycle 2022.
