A Conversation with Guitar God with Raul Midón

Interviewing artists who really inspire you is such a delight. Raul Midon, who is headlining at the BCPA Cafe Thursday evening, was kind enough to chat with me about his marvelous music, his desire to never regain his sight, and how to judge groupies when you are blind.

If you enjoy the music of Jazon Mraz, you will love Raul Midon. He has collaborated and toured with Jason, and I think taught him a thing or two.

“Raul Midón is the kind of artist who makes R&B taste-makers twitch with pleasure. Blind since birth, his music is a remarkable blend of soul, R&B, pop, folk, jazz, and Latin. There’s no doubt he’ll dazzle you with his soaring vocals and rapid-fire, flamenco-inspired guitar. But it’s the simplicity of what he does, the soul virtuosity that recalls his R&B mentors Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway, that will leave you spellbound.”
