An Audience with Richard Bona

Available for over a year

Cameroonian Richard Bona is described as one of the most electrifying and brilliant artists from Africa – from anywhere in fact. The legendary Quincy Jones, who has produced Bona's latest album, Heritage, describes him as “simply one of the most talented dudes on this planet”. Richard Bona will be playing a selection of tunes from Heritage, and from his back catalogue, in an exclusive Global Beats session at the BBC's Maida Vale studios. He will be in conversation with presenter Bola Mosuro and taking questions from a studio audience about his life in Cameroon and the US and his extraordinary musical career. In a change to its usual format, Global Beats is this month devoting the whole programme to a single outstanding musician. Picture: Richard Bona, Credit: AFP/Getty Images
