The New York Times quoted Midón as “a one-man band who turns a guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus.”
“A son of an Argentinian man and African-American woman, Midón is a gentleman of many influences and he isn’t afraid to take risks. A straight shooter, the New Mexico native calls it how he sees it…” NBC News
