Raul Midón

Concert Details

Raul Midón is a Grammy-nominated contemporary singer-songwriter whose impassioned acoustic guitar playing—which traverses pop, jazz, soul, urban, cumbia, and flamenco—has garnered as much attention as his smooth singing and sophisticated writing. Blind since birth, Midón sees the world through sound and has won legions of fans worldwide with his emotional phrasing and ability to play multiple instruments.

His sweet, silky tenor delivery and poignant, emotional phrasing evoke the influence of Bill Withers and Michael Franks, Donny Hathaway and D’Angelo. A former backup singer for Shakira and Julio Iglesias, Midón broke through as a solo artist and achieved two Grammy nods for his albums, Bad Ass and Blind and If You Really Want. Midón’s crowd-pleasing performances are enlivened by his improvisational “mouth trumpet” technique, which creates a bebop sound using just his lips.
