"Lost & Found" is Raul's new album, which was released in April 2024 and finds the veteran singer and guitarist blending folk and roots alongside jazz, soul and pop.” The New York Times calls him an “Unreconstructed Hippie..who turns a guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus.” From Glide Magazine, “the veteran guitarist & songwriter brought his unmatched live performance to Philly. To say it was a spiritual experience would do a disservice to the showmanship of Midón. He redefines one-man-band by playing guitar with one hand, the bongos with the other, and belting out an impressive horn impersonation. A lone polyrhythm machine, this multi-Grammy Nominee’s recordings are impressive enough, but another world opens when you see these songs live.” Raul is a genre defying artist, he successfully combines jazz, soul, latin, pop into his own unique blend of mesmerizing brilliance. He was a favorite of Bill Withers, recorded & smoked weed with Snoop Dogg, covered Stevie Wonder on Herbie Hancock's acclaimed Possibilities album & recently toasted Joni Mitchell with the National Symphony Orchestra at The Kennedy Center (PBS Next at The Kennedy Center). His show is not to be missed.
