When he was 14, he heard that a Frenchman in the nearby town of Douala wanted to start a jazz club. Although he knew next to nothing about jazz, Mr. Bona, a fast learner, was recommended. He learned enough listening full-time to the Frenchman's large LP collection to open in three weeks. Eventually, Mr. Bona moved to New York. Occasionally, he tours Cameroon.
Jazz is everywhere.
