its a shame that not everyone knows about this man. he is very inspirational and hard to forget

He's relatively known here in Sweden. But I'm spreading the word. Only the music-people that knows of him. Hello to Netherlands and Serbia ^^

This 6 minute video is an entire course in vocalization, percussive acoustic guitar and live performance entertainment :O Raul Midon is the MAN

That's an artist, that's what music is all about people...

this guy is amazing. you can feel his soul in the whole song, great musician and performer!

I just can't believe how wonderful this guy is!!! He is just so goood!!!!!!!!!!

hes very underrated, he should be more famous than he is, love his caracter

If you are in a bad mood, listening to this guy will improve your move by 1000 percent. He is amazing and so thankful we have music like this.

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY (MARCH 14) today to Mr. Raul Midon. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world. You are absolutely AMAZING!!

Man... that falsette at 2:27 is just beautiful, love the harmonics to!! and of course de "trumpet"

the most talented new Artist I have seen last 10 years in musik !!! respect bro. !!!!

I adore and respect this man so much. Although I personally am not a guitar player, he is one of my greatest idols of all time, regardless if I am a musician or not. Just listen to his lyrics and all the soul in his music! He definitely deserves never ending recognition and respect. I hope to meet you one day, Raul!

Wow i was at the north sea jazz and was trying to find an act that really got to me. Then I found Raul Midon standing on his own on this huge stage. Simply amazing. I really went crazy even though i was on my own too :P

there is absolutely nothing bad i can say about this song. the lyrics are undescribeably good. so true! raul midón is the inspiring talent worthy to look for. i really really want to get used to that falsetto.. ;)

Thank you for helping me find a cool state of mind to be in peace tonight . . . for finding the time to be in the moment & enjoying the "present" that is You . . . ho! my brother

Damn ! It's been a long while since I've been so impressed by a musician... I seen him on french TV a couple of hours ago : I was blown out ! That guy is... Wow !

Wonder how many musicians are looking to collaborate with Raul?!?! They better be ready to keep up....

I put this on favourites before it even had started. He and Richard Boona is godlike.... truly. ;D Was on their fifth set today in Sweden in our city: Vara! (I loved how awesome they said it xD). He played guitarr, bongodrums and sang and played trumpet with his lips - at the same time, and it was guuuud - One of the most amazing things I've seen!

i would swear that there was a trumpet in this song, but the guy does it with his mouth! CRAZY! :)

maybe God did not let you see .. but he gave you a gift worth no less .. Your performance in Israel - Eilat Jazz Festival was amazing! Thank you

Breath-Taking, transporting me back home to that place from whence we all arose.

Hey I love the bunch of different languages that people comment in. He really touches people all over the world.

i can watch this over and over and enjoy it every time. pure talent!!

This guys is brilliant. I seriously wish I could play like him, and have the ability to kickass with the mouth trumpet. TALENTED! Heh. That word doesn't even begin to cover it.

HE is a freaking masterpiece!

I saw him perform twice a few years ago in Amsterdam in combination with Masters @ Work in Club Jimmy Woo and it was amazing what a sound.

THIS GUY IS THE REAL DEAL!!!

gotta love the mouth trumpeting...pure genius!

i love Raul Midon because he's one of the few modern artist in any genre i know that actually sounds better by himself live then on the CD with added instruments and sounds. PURE RAW SKILL AND EMOTION! I LOVE IT!...thanx Raul

Love this guy. In this era of poor weak music this guy is like an angel send down to show us quality music still exists! Love!

This is the best version BY FAR.

If there's a such thing as the best, then Raul you are the man!

*completely blown away*

this guy is selffish because he got all the talent for himself. just awesome

So many different types of music and types of sounds he can produce using only 2 instruments, and they sound so perfect! True musical talent if ever you could witness it!

Very proud to say that I have had the chance to see Raul from the beginnings of his career in little 'ole towns in NM and you just knew he was gonna reach that star. Peace.

Just discovered him on Ovation TV.. This man is King.. I'm hooked...!

it almost make me want to give up on music seeing this guy have so much talent and music sense. lol

Just 1 word...AWESOME!!!!!!

I'm going to see him in Chicago on Feb 1. Can't wait.

This is so wonderful to see! I used to go see this young man over a decade ago in small clubs the size of an apartment livingroom. There was a closely connected music circle of hardore singers and players in Miami at the time ...the favorite hang for everybody was to go and support one another's gigs and Midon was a beloved favorite on the local scene. So far,most from that time have gone into sessions or songwriting, but it's great to see 1 of the old guard out there playing their guts out!

They have eyes ,but Raul will make em see what real vision is...

Raulllll is performing 2night in The Hague Netherlands and I'm going!!!!

my mind is blown.....all over the wall

I freakin love this song ! The trumpet part is awesome.

a young version of george benson with some remarkable talent. raul is by far one of the most underrated musicians today.

so true it actually hurts.

This song always gets me excited

God exists! This is one of the most breathtaking performances I have ever witnessed. Outstanding!!!

This man is a genius. Great respect to him

This guy got the IT-factor so bad. Unbelievable! I'm so hoping he comes to Sweden soon.

thanks you, this man is wonderful, i saw him in the bataclan in paris today, he is a real phenomen, absolutly amazing guy.

This is so amazing, extraordinary. Never heard anything like it. This guy is so impressive, truly a real talent. Thank you.

i wish i could have been there! this is one of my fav cds right now. wake up to it every morning. incredible talent!

He is so nice.

I love the vibe of this tune! so inspiring!!

what a genius! smooth! reminds me of stevie wonder!

Aaaaaaahhhh, This guy is AMAZING! I am sooo glad my friend introduced me to his music!!!

Wow...this is real music TALENT right here!!

I first heard of him last night on a NYC radio station and when I heard his "trumpet" something about it caught my attention. I then learned what it was and become so excited. I've been doing that for years (just messing with it) and had no idea anyone else was doing it, let alone recording it. I want to do a duet with this man!!!

When i first found this video, and saw the crazy guitar lick in the beginning...i knew this was something special and have watched it every day since. This guy is amazing, crazy respect! SwissSi

F-ing incredible! Love this guy and the fabulous music that he creates.

Just saw him in San Diego last week! I am totally blow away with his talent. One of the best live performances I've ever seen!

Wow that was great! Incredible how great he is at everything. I never heard of him before, but now I will not forget him.

Sometimes God gives you something but takes something away, this man sees and sings with his soul. He didn't say why me, he just took the gift and polished it.

I´ve seen him a few days ago in cologne in Germany , he is absolutely wonderful !!

i saw him in concert in the montreux jazz festival 2007... bought my first guitar the morning after.... i love that guy!!!!

its like a mixture of jazz on the left hand and flamenco on the right

Unbelievable.... A true artist in the full sense of the word. Take notes music world!

amazing musician. it's nice to see him getting some props for his skills.

Definitely some George Benson influence I'm sure. This guy's exceptionally gifted!!

See Raul in Woodbridge, NJ on Wednesday May 19, 2010 in an intimate venue. The Music on Main Street series also has Raul Malo on April 7.

hes like a new gen santana. god bless blind musicians. Too many people with disabilities give up on life because they lack something that others have.

Just want to point out the fact that this is one of the first videos i have come across where no one is bashing someone else or being controversial about anything and this is the way music should be...just bringing people together and leading us into a a "State of" Harmony.

Right on...i love it!

arrggghhh this guy is frickin awesome!!!!!!!1

Wow His singing is wonderful

Unmatched talent, this man is genius

i love how he talks and play the guitar in the intro. What a man.

saw him at the monterey jazz festival a few years ago, hes so skilled. nice to see a good musician for once

Every time I listen this music, it gives me goosebumps. It seems like Raul is getting better in the same video or probably he is changing my state of mind..

Now this is talent ! I got some deep respect for this guy !

This night, when i found this guy, I feel my whole world became larger! He is one of the best singers&guitarists in the world, if not the BEST! Respect man! Keep up the good work and, think about making a World Tour! You are very appreciated from what i see in the comments below so, it wouldn't be such a bad idea! Greetings from ROMANIA!!! GOD SENT YOU! PEOPLE, LET'S TREAT HIM WITH ALL THE RESPECT AND LOVE WE HAVE! THUMBS UP !!

No sound will ever mean "lets go" as much as that slide.

Raul kills, i just heard of him today and this blows me away

in my opinion one of the most talented musicians since Jimi Hendrix

Raul midon has soo much soul. It's beautiful =D

This man is a wonderful musician and his "State of Mind" cd is a classic an eclectic mix of so many types of music that I enjoy. I can't wait for his next cd.

I LOVE YOU MAN !!!! u keep the world steady...big bow for an idol

Brilliant. Sharp as a razor.

Thank you for posting this. He is awesome, and a clear demonstration of the power of a free human spirit.

A REAL MUSICIAN

Great!!! Look at this Clip! Share this million times. Saitenblick ;-)

i cant play guitar a quarter as well as that. Whats even more impressive - he's blind! Go On Raul!

Beautiful! Such awesome talent!

As I told him last Sat. night at his post-gig cd signing, I've sung professionally for 30+ yrs. and no singer/songwriter/guitarist has ever impressed me more. The man's talents are to be paid attention to!...it's just that simple. Amazing artist!!!

One of the best tunes i ever hear!!! can't get enough of this track! again and again!

incroyable de la pure music un concert juste une guitare et sa voix pas d'artice juste du talent et des trippes il vit la music bravo

Wow! Brilliance!

pas de mots pour dire ce que je ressens... my state of mind goes higher and higher when i listen to him!
