Album Review

State Of Mind by Raul Midon

Released on: June 7, 2005

Rating: 4.5 stars (on Amazon reviews)

Label: Manhattan Records

Produced by: Arif Mardin, Joe Mardin



Raul Midon

Blind since infancy, Midon is famous for his particular songwritting and execution styles. He began his carreer as a session singer for many artists such as Shakira, Julio Iglesias, Alejandro Sanz and Jose Feliciano. He began his own proyects with DJ Little Louie Vega and even composed a song called "Cerca de mi"

After that he met Music Producer Arif Mardin who produced his second labeled album: State of Mind.

This 14 track long album has turned out to form part as the complex identity of Raul. With his unique vocal style "instrumental voice" (or an evolution of scat singing) Midon has deserved to be a member in the books of the great entrepeneurs of jazz, soul and flamenco. 





If you enjoyed this album, you will absoultly love this concert of Raul Midon and Richard Bona at the Jazz In Marciac (2011). (Link)
