Paris, March 2008.
What characterises Richard Bona’s music career is his creative drive; his fecund exchanges with fellow-artists; and his unquenching desire to perform live. Bona’s concerts are adrenalin-pumping affairs punctuated by humour and innovation. Bona finally releases an album that distils these raucous exchanges with the public. Richard Bona Makes You Sweat includes nine songs that the Cameroonian promises will help listeners lose some weight. He chose to record the CD in Budapest, one of 170+ venues he visited in 2007 because, as he says, a friendship has developed over the decade he has passed coming through the Hungarian capital. But the punishing concert schedule he has imposed on himself has not stopped Bona from recording his eighth album, set to come out in 2009.
SETTING: Richard Bona jetted into the French capital in March to promote his first live album which includes a DVD extract of his energy-packed cocnert in July 2007 in Budapest. This exclusive exchange was first broadcast by Radio France International and its weekly programme World Tracks.
