Richard Bona | electric bass

Soloists: Richard Bona, vocals
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.

For anyone who's used a loop pedal: I dare you to get this level of syncopation and fluid tone. Incredible stuff.

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!

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.
