Richard Bona | KNKX Studio Session

Deskripsi:

Richard Bona returned to Seattle for a live session and interview at KNKX’s Studio X, his first visit since 2016. The Cameroon‑born bassist, multi‑instrumentalist and vocalist performed with his Asante Trio—pianist Jesus Pupo and drummer Harvel Nakundi—after a tour kickoff in the United States and Europe. The session featured Bona’s original compositions and an encore of Rema’s “Calm Down.” At 0:00 he opens with “Muntula Moto,” at 6:00 he plays “Bilongo,” and at 12:04 the trio performs the encore. During the interview, Bona reflected on his musical journey, his use of the Duala language, and his recent move to Miami, where he met the trio members. The performance was recorded by KNKX’s audio team and captured the energy of the studio audience.
