  • The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
    May 16, 2020 | Felix Contreras -- Despite the pall cast over so many aspects of our existence these days, Raul Midón's one man concert from his home studio shines with a vibrant appreciation of the beauty of life, down to its smallest details. It kicks off with two tracks from The Mirror, an album released just as we entered our quarantine period in mid-March: "I Love The Afternoon" and "I Really Want To See You Again," a song that poetically captures the joy of friendship. Midón's jazz-influenced vocal phrasing throughout comes to the fore with just his acoustic guitar as accompaniment, illustrating once again why he's normally one of the bright spots on our musical landscape and even more so at this moment.

    This guy shows incredible virtuosity in his instrument as well as great versatility of sound.

I loved this greatly and I'm excited to look at the albums he has produced :) THX NPR

    Random story. I was a teen in high school and usually walked to and from home and school. One day I was walking down an alley way and a couple was fighting over something and the woman threw a box of things at a man as he walked away. A CD case slid across the pavement about a foot away from me. I picked it up and started walking towards the woman who was frustratingly cursing at the sky as she snatched the cd from me and threw it back at the floor attempting to break it, but it didn’t break. So I decided, why not take it home? Lol. Turns out it was a Raul Midon cd. Never heard of him before, and at first listen I just wasn’t feeling it. Fast forward about 2 years later I was turning into an adult as the world was too. See cds we’re being transferred into MP3 players. As I was ripping my discs I came across this one again that’s been sitting around, and decided it wouldn’t hurt to have my options open for listening pleasures. Waited so long came on the shuffle all program I had going. I was like this song is pretty cool. Then a couple days later came across Sunshine and it hooked me in. For about a month straight I listened to that album day and night. As the years progressed and I’ve come across situations, people, emotions and this album was always the soundtrack to all of it. Never listened to anything else from him after that album but man that album got me through so many rough times, and applauded the small accomplishments in my life. Thank you Raul and thank you to the couple who tossed the cd.
