Captivating Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Raul Midón brings his soulful voice and powerful guitar to the Mansion at Strathmore, combining elements of soul, jazz, and Latin influences into his iconic sound.Blind since birth, Midón has often been described as a “one-man band,” turning his guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus (The New York Times). His breakthrough album State of Mind—hailed by Elton John as a “soul classic”— is now celebrating its 20th anniversary and remains a touchstone of modern soul and jazz.
The skilled guitarist, composer, and singer has built a career defined by collaboration and innovation, working with a remarkable range of artists from Shakira, Spike Lee, Herbie Hancock, and Stevie Wonder to Snoop Dogg and Roberta Flack.
With his latest album, Lost & Found (2024), the fleet-fingered Midón explores new sonic territory, singing and telling stories filled with nimble melodies ranging from soaring falsettos to a deep baritone. A testament to his pure musicianship, this album is considered a masterclass of technique and composition, marking his 13th major release with some of the most potent songwriting of his career.
