RICHARD BONA. VILLANOS DEL JAZZ 2023

A cold rainy night in Madrid glimmering streets and pavement, bright lights burning around the sign of Los Villanos (Villains) one of the coolest musical venues in the city where Cameroon’s most brilliant performer will enthral a heterogeneous crowd of creatures of the night excited to see the bass player deliver his unique creative input upon them and bestow them with the gift of spiritual awakening and funky electrifying sonic vibes. The venue itself is superb, dark an inviting at the same time, a shelter for deep thinkers, rebellious intellectuals, eclectic musicians and modern vampires, all of them ready to be spellbound by ancestral african voices, black magic performed by a haunted bit-box and above all the musicianship displayed by this trio of musical pagan priests exorcising the dampen spirits of the public due to the toxic political environment that envelops the nation.
Richard Bona’s Trio will captivate your soul, make you feet dance, transport you to distant places and introduce you to the musical avatars of the Rigvedic deities, levitate and reach for the aesthetically heights of transcendental beauty, all this accompanied by a spoonful of harmless humour and good spirits. By the way a beautifully illuminated bar will provide the necessary lubricants to open your mind and allow you to enjoy this roller-coasting experience with fortitude and in a laid back state of being. —Can I have a Bushmills, please. Straight, no ice.
