Raul Midón

The great Raul Midón is back in 2024 with a stellar new album, Lost & Found, that was released on April 26th, 2024.

It’s his 13th studio LP, and one that finds him working alongside longtime friends and industry vets Andres Forero on drums and percussion and bassist Richard Hammond (both of whom appear on Broadway’s Hamilton) in crafting this new collection of “smooth folk” as he likes to callhis music. String arrangements were provided by Andrew Sherman.

“On this, my latest album, Lost & Found, I attempt a deeper dive into life’s triumphs and disappointments,” Midon explains about the LP’s impetus. “Universal themes such as love, fear and unapologetic bliss are explored through a more mature lens. Example, love becomes a condition rather than a state. Doubt is an ocean that can change a person’s worldview. One must become lost in order to then be found. We give meaning to the moments in our lives through the magic of memory. This album is yet another attempt to impart meaning, through song, to life’s experiences.” - Raul Midón

The single, “When We Remember,” is a country-tinged song that includes a stint of Raul playing banjo. “‘When We Remember’ is a song I call smooth folk and I’m playing banjo and harmonica,” explains Midón.“ What a ride it’s been. In this lyric video I express feelings about life as it passes, the moments we remember, about the rejuvenative power of memory. Heavy stuff but glorious.”
