It was recorded in A 38 club in Budapest, Hungary in 2007,[2] and released on March 7, 2008, through Universal Music Jazz France.

Bona said, "After every concert I’ve ever played, I get people coming up saying they’d love to have a souvenir of the show.

(...) For all his deep-dish musicality and capacity for virtuosity on tap, in his role as a bandleader, Bona likes to keep the party rolling and the material on the simple, celebratory side," wrote Josef Woodard in his review for JazzTimes.

[4] Daniel Lieuze of RFI Musique praised Bona's vocals: "A few tracks on, with the superb Indiscretions & Please Don’t [Stop], Bona stands up there live on stage and proves3lest there should linger even the slightest doubt—that as an instrumentalist he has a voice to rival the great George Benson’s.

Bona is intent on showing off the many facets of that vocal timbre on Samaouma, an ‘a cappella’ polyphony which recalls the church songs he performed as a young boy growing up in Minta, his home village in eastern Cameroon.
