专辑简介
Dubbed “The African Sting,” Richard Bona fuses his joyful bass playing with African elements on his versatile and soothing new album 'Tiki' featuring soulster John Legend on the single "Please Don't Stop."
Bassist, vocalist and composer Richard Bona was born in Cameroon and grew up in a musical family (his mother and grandfather were both singers). After moving from Cameroon to Paris and finally to New York in 1995, Bona became one of the most in-demand collaborators on the international jazz scene, working with a remarkable array of artists such as Paul Simon, Harry Belafonte, Chaka Khan, Queen Latifah, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Salif Keita to name a few. His debut album Scenes From My Life was released in 1999, followed by two other critically acclaimed albums.
Tiki is his latest effort, an album showing growth and greater musical maturity. It's an album neatly packaging all of those years of surrounding himself with musical influences ranging from Afrobeat, Latin rhythms, jazz, pop, bossa nova and funk, presenting his own unique twist on it all with an underlying African exquisiteness. This album takes the listener on a journey from his African roots with the lovely nursery rhyme “Ida Bato,” to the jazzy ballad “Esoka Bulu” and on to Brazil with the samba “Akwa samba Yaya.” The lead song “Please Don't Stop” features vocals by none other than equally gifted Grammy-winning artist John Legend. With Tiki, Bona gives listeners the full magnitude of his exceptional talents with candor towards the diverse nature of our world today. Witness it for yourself by listening to Tiki or better yet, by catching Richard Bona live at Joe's Pub if you happen to be in New York City on September 6th.
