Midón’s innovative songwriting incorporates his lyrics, guitar handiwork (jazz, classical, flamenco, R&B) and “vocal trumpet” improvisation. Though he draws comparisons to Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway and Richie Havens, Midón is the rare original in an industry of few.
Raul Midón is into beating the odds, shattering stereotypes, and making category-defying music. “I was told as a child, ‘You’re blind; you can’t do this,’” Midón told an interviewer in 2005. “I was told when I moved to New York, ‘You can’t do that, you’re not going to make it.’” At 40, however, Midón has clearly made it.
