Wonderful Mr RICHARD BONA ! Your music is my medecine ❤ Na tondi wa broda❤🇨🇲

[@gcolnr]

The first time I became aware of Richard was a Pat Metheny concert long ago. After his solo, I thought “who is this guy???!”

[@emmanuelcoffie4127]

The calmness of the groove and exquisite melodies; three masters playing. Im loving it.

[@NotLahEnough]

Damn the dude has insane nerve coordination. Imagine singing such tight lyrics and articulation with equally intricate basslines!

[@responsibassmusic]

i love your version of the song "calm down" by Rema. Love from Nigeria.

[@diegohernandezcantautor]

I remember a concert of him in Bogota, the city where I live in, in 2018. It was something unique. It opened my ears to expand my music edges. He’s a true master

[@jadisarrey1274]

Awww!! My legend. God blessed you differently. You were uniquely and greatly made. Thank you sir for feeding us with your talent. I'm a fan mr. Bona🙏

[@edersantos7053]

I'm a big fan of Richard, because he hasn't left his origins and has shown that he's a super humble guy!!! Congratulations Richard, may God greatly bless you and everyone who is with you in your projects!

[@shirou9237]

This first song made me cry. I do not understand the words but it touched my cuban soul as a lullaby. These musicians are magical!

[@marvinlarbi5078]

Well done to all the musicians❤. You just made my night

[@antwisarpong7176]

Sir. Richard Bona, the greatest emotional and inspiring sound music. Hello Bona please I would like to have the translation in English so I can play and sing along in my local language a thousand times. I love the sound. The pianist is superb and for you Bona you are the Guitarist Sir.

[@wisdecounsel]

Great sound from Bona and the band… this feels like a walk into the golden age life! One can get high from the replays and the semantic frequencies from their hearts💚🔥

[@milorejoepoe8807]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@musicadventures7093]

The piano solo in the first song is disgusting and I shall listen to it everyday this week probably.

[@jan-willemreens9010]

... I remember very well the time that the great musician Mr. Richard Bona came to Holland and some time later started touring with the world famous jazz gitarist Pat Metheny ... what a fantastic musical time this was; thank you very much KNKX Public Radio for reminding me of all these wonderful memories ... best regards, Jan-W

[@jerombird1614]

Amazing. He plaid with pat Metheni, I didn't know. I'm looking for finding vidéo. Thanks

[@jan-willemreens9010]

@@jerombird1614 ... Good day Jérôme, Richard Bona & Pat Metheny project on the CD " Speaking of Now " if you are still interested, I think there are also videos on KZbin to watch and listen of this tour I think it was in 2002 ... I hope this helps and good luck! Jan-W

[@jan-willemreens9010]

@@jerombird1614 .... CD " Bright Size Life " too with Pat and Richard together ... good luck! Jan-W

[@dagostinoification]

Musicien doué d'un sens rythmique formidable mais aussi mélodiste chanteur compositeur, doué d'une douceur et d'une rare sensibilité , Richard est ici entouré de deux musiciens remarquables qui lui conviennent parfaitement ! On adore ! Et que de souvenirs quand je le vois encore jouer très jeune dans les jams du club "le baiser salé "à Paris, alors que je jouais avec mon ami , l'excellent guitariste Stephane Guéry son ami aussi...

[@BonaBaton]

The world needs to calm down...nice trio

[@joyboy1757]

although recognized and rewarded, for me, Richard Bona is still a little underrated, he has absolutely nothing to envy of anyone in his category

[@marxcell1490]

You intent and apparent honesty apart, comments such as this has the tendency to underrate than borst ratings, though unintended. Sometime some observations are not worth the ink use. Silence speak most. Thank you

[@AndyDennison-x6h]

Please what’s the language of the song and where can I get the lyrics?

[@johnbull8509]

The language of the song is Douala. A dialect of the Douala tribe of Cameroon.
