💚💚💚❤⭐❤💛💛💛 i watched this in 2023 and I'm still watching it over and over cause I'm an engineering student finding ideas on building this same machine here in cameroon
No... this man had passed the level we should see as talent. This is pure genius because I did not want to say magic.... sometimes you are asking yourself if mens are really from God then you see such demonstrations!!!
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.
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.
He is an Amazing African, Cameroon(the fictional place created by France) even deny this man entry to when he lost his Mother, infact they kicked him out.
M From Nigeria too... This song also touched my soul.... So much deep expression. I feel lion 🦁King should have used this guys voice for their sound track cos it has so much undiluted African feel ....
Once you discover your purpose, everything comes alive... Thumbs 🆙. The pride of discovering, developing and deploying the best of you. 😃 #Bona please train the younger generations to keep this passion alive.
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'm from Cameroon and I've always loved Richard Bona since my son introduced this icon's music to me. I understand a little of the Douala language that he sings in, and I know that he's so poetic and natural. His music flows in the soul like a quiet stream.
The vocal at 4:49 just made my tears drop! One of My biggest dream is to attend one of your concert before God call you back. You are a mentor to millions 🙌
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!!!!
I can proudly say, I have seen Richard Bona live on two occasions and he has never disappointed me. He is a great ambassador of African Music. And oh he is so so funny 😁
I just imagine the hours and years of restless hardwork to produce this art in its purest form...It would be an honor to meet you someday Mr Richard Bona
Two musicians that has made me see the power of music "Phil Collins and Richard Bona" these guys, seriously I don't know where the inspirations come from, songs I couldn't imagine they still bring life to them. Thank you Sir. Richard Bona.
From the movement of his arms and fingers you can kinda tell he also knows how to play all the instruments he mimics. Blows my mind every time I watch it.
The best ever it’s always a joy to watch you perform hopefully I watch you play life. 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲 you performed all the songs I like too so yasss 😍😍👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

It's one of the best TEDs I've ever seen! Not because I'm a big fan of Richard Bona, but mainly because, in my opinion, the formula "I show what I can do" + "how I did it" is more impactful !

I am so proud to be Cameroonian. I love you Richard Bona
Super proud
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 !
Grand frère.....nos pensées convergent !

I swear mon frère ! 👌🏽
La vrai sorcelerie mon frere
La vraie vraie sorcellerie meme je t'assure 👌
Damn. I feel so calm, positive and happy after watching this. Thank you for this amazingness
I have the same feeling
Back in Cameroon, people say Richard Bona's music makes you forget your life challenges and worries.
It's the music behind that brings that feeling it's from an ancestral rhythm called Makune
Tears allover my face! This is the deepest expression of Cameroon's rich culture. Sir keep making us fly....!
Sawa lambo!
Yeeeeees🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲 my lovely country!!!!!
I was always wondering what he‘s actually singing about... can you help here?
He is an Amazing African, Cameroon(the fictional place created by France) even deny this man entry to when he lost his Mother, infact they kicked him out.
Perhaps one of those things you can stand and be proud to say you are from Cameroon
This absolutely made my day. Mind blowing performance. Much love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
