Richard Bonais arguably one of the best bass players in the world today. Bona was born on October 28, 1967 in Minta, in eastern Cameroon, into a family of musicians. His grandfather was a singer (griot) and percussionist, and his mother was a singer. In 1995, Richard moved from Europe to New York, where he began work with artists like Larry Coryell, Michael and Randy Brecker and Steve Gadd. His first album solo, Scenes of my life, was released in 1999. He has also been prominently featured in Jaco Pastorius Big Band albums, as well as many other albums by well-known American jazz musicians. Richard is currently touring with his own group to support his recent Grammy nominated album, “Tiki” which features a cast of all-stars.
