Produced by the legendary Arif Mardin and his son Joe Mardin, and created by a two-time Grammy nominee who’s been blind since infancy, this timeless masterpiece was hailed by Elton John in Vibe Magazine as a "soul classic." The New York Times praised Midón as a "one-man band who turns his guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus." People Magazine called him an "eclectic adventurist," the Daily News dubbed him a "musical genius," and The Guardian described him as a "totally musical mind at work." Quincy Jones also noted that his music "makes you smile." Come experience the singular sensation that is Raul Midón - there isn't anyone who can command a stage solo and make you feel like you've heard a whole band or even an orchestra! He makes the most out of every ounce of musicality in his body! Kuumbwa Jazz Center 320 Cedar St. Santa Cruz, CA 95060 831-427-2227
