Blind singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Raul Midón is joined on this stunning body of work with his friends, industry veterans, Andrés Forero on Drums & Percussion, Richard Hammond on bass, Federico Peña on keyboards & piano. Standout songs on Lost & Found include the first single “Keep On Keeping On”, which is an uplifting bluesy pop song. It enjoyed its debut on National TV back in December, 2023 on the Jennifer Hudson Show. “The Ganja Song” is a bouncy ska-ish take on the latest cannabis craze. The crooner chants “There would be no Rock ‘n’ Roll music if it wasn’t for weed”. The song speaks to the transformational effects and how its upbeat musical treatment is meant to uplift the way a flower does. The lyric video premiered with Celeb Stoner and was released worldwide on 4/20. “Next Time” is a galloping rock waltz and a co-write with songwriter/author Mike Errico. It’s about seizing the day as there may not be another and every moment is a precious one. You hear a massive string section and wizardry guitar madness. The title track “Lost & Found,” Midón calls “smooth folk” and a song he wrote early in his career. The lyrics were inspired by his listening to Bob Dylan reading of his poem, “Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie.” It’s a tribute to the human spirit. Another highlight is the soulful collaboration with Ethiopian R&B songstress Wayna on their Sting-like co- write “A Condition of Love”. The song had a world premiere with SoulTracks. A song about the many aspects of love that are not necessarily romantic. An R&B ballad for modern times. Lost & Found is the 2nd album released on his own imprint Rekondite Rekords. His strongest album to date, there’s no sign of Raul slowing down. Raul was a favorite of Bill Withers, recorded and smoked weed with Snoop Dogg and was featured on Herbie Hancock’s critically acclaimed album “Possibilities.” In 2022, he was honored to pay tribute to one of his idols, Joni Mitchell, with the National Symphony Orchestra arranged and conducted by Vince Mendoza at The Kennedy Center alongside Lalah Hathaway, Jimmie Herrod & Renee Fleming (PBS Next at the Kennedy Center). He received multiple GRAMMY nominations back-to- back in 2017 and 2018 for his albums Bad Ass and Blind and If You Really Want in the Best Jazz Vocal Category.
