180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE VINYL INCLUDES INSERT GUEST APPEARANCE BY PAT METHENY FIRST TIME ON VINYL! Richard Bona was born into a family of musicians, which enabled him to start learning music from a young age. His grandfather was a griot - a West African singer of praise and storyteller - and percussionist, and his mother was a singer. Richard Bona remains true to his roots with African rhythms reflected in each of his albums; Reverence is the second studio album originally released in 2001 and displays his unique approach to storytelling through sounds. His unique style is situated at the crossroads of a horde of influences - jazz, bossa nova, pop music, afro-beat, traditional song, and funk. The song "Reverence (The Story of a Miracle)" features a guest appearance by prominent jazz guitarist Pat Metheny.
