Richard Bona will perform at Salle Gaveau in Paris, France on November 14, 2026. Bona is a Cameroonian-American bassist, vocalist, and composer renowned for his distinctive blend of jazz, African rhythms – particularly from his native Cameroon – and Latin influences. His music often incorporates elements of funk and pop, creating a globally-inspired sound characterized by complex basslines, sophisticated harmonies, and soulful vocals, frequently sung in both English and his native Duala language. He is widely respected for his virtuosity as a bassist and his innovative approach to musical fusion.

Salle Gaveau holds a significant place in Parisian musical history. Opened in 1929, it was originally constructed as a private concert hall by the Édouard Gaveau family, primarily intended for chamber music performances. The hall quickly gained recognition for its exceptional acoustics and intimate atmosphere. Throughout its history, Salle Gaveau has hosted numerous celebrated musicians across various genres including classical, jazz, and world music. It’s known for its elegant Art Deco architecture and remains a highly regarded venue for acoustic performances in Paris due to its carefully preserved sonic qualities. The space has undergone renovations over the years but maintains its original character.
