"Raul Midón; lives in a world of sound - blind since birth, Midón;'s interpretation of his surroundings is borderless. He sings with the passion of the best classic soul singers, and his instrumental chops stand alongside the most accomplished jazz musicians."
Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and guitarist Raul Midón; has earned renown as one of music's most distinctive and searching voices - "a one-man band... who is spiritually connected," according to The New York Times, and "an eclectic adventurist," in the words of People magazine.
Reflecting on the exploratory grasp of past and present represented by his latest album, Bad Ass and Blind, Midón; says: "Like with all my records, this album is for those who are interested in going beyond notions of genre - it's for listeners with open ears, open minds, open hearts."
