About: Richard Bona

A griot's grandson from Cameroon who became one of jazz's most sought-after bassists, Bona blends African roots with funk, Afro-Cuban grooves, and his own distinctive scat singing. His Grammy win and decades of collaboration with the likes of Quincy Jones and Pat Metheny have made him a fixture on the world stage.
