In a mesmerizing performance, multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Richard Bona weaves beautiful vocal loops into a mesh of sound, powered by his "magic voodoo machine."

Anyone watching in 2024? As a Cameroonian we 're incredibly proud of Richard Bona's music and a bunch of other amazing artists which the world is only starting to explore. Bona heads a long line of fine artists from Cameroon. Some people know us just for football but we're much more... in almost every industry we've got stars shinning

Put a LIKE if you're sending love to Cameroon 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲

[ShaneHummus]

This is pure talent. It's been a long time since someone actually produced good music worth listening to.

As a cameroonian and a citizen of the world, I am doubly proud to see how much people can accomplish with so less. Just by working hard. SO inspiring Richard Bona. Na Som Djita.

Richard Bons is Africa's cultural gift to the world . What a talent ❤

[yacoubalban]

Dans sa voix et sa musique se trouve l’âme du Cameroun. Ce pays singulier au centre de l'Afrique, qui a pour vocation de parler au monde, mais qui depuis est à l'arrêt.

Écouter une telle mélodie au TED et en Duala grâce à lui, et oser lui manquer de respect après ! J'admire le Cameroun quand même !

[mathildemerce]

Damn. I feel so calm, positive and happy after watching this. Thank you for this amazingness

[schoolfaqs]

Bona is not only a fantastic bassist but one of the greatest artists of all time.

People are complaining that this video shouldn't be on TED. I disagree. Technology, Entertainment, and Design. This would be Entertainment. He's passionate and inspiring. This is part of what TED Talks is for. I can understand that people want more studies, science, or politics on this channel, but maybe you should learn to take a break and enjoy yourself sometimes. Use this as an excuse to meditate, instead of deciding to complain about something that really isn't affecting you. Just enjoy it. You might actually be able to take something from it.

I don't understand how someone is capable of disliking such an amazing performance.... They surely come from a different planet..

[harrynsah]

Cameroon 🇨🇲 has always produced one of the best artist in the planet earth. Manu Debango etc

[TheBassmann]

Music comes not from the instrument you play but from within. This performance is a great example!!! Oh btw Richard is a ridiculous bass player too!!!!

[alexbrandon]

This is how music is supposed to make you feel 😊.

[audreykwontchie]

Richard Bona is the Music Himself 🙏👏
So Proud to be Cameroonian 🇨🇲❤
