La Loca Lola-April Valencia. "Ayudame" A story of Struggle Recovery & Endurance.

As Vibe New Mexico begins, the very first guest is no other than my beautiful amazing Amiga April Valencia AKA "LA LOCA LOLA- APRIL!" April shares her recovery journey. She is simply, April, real, honest and raw. She doesn't hold back. She speaks openly of her struggles and how every day she makes this choice to remain sober and thriving for success. Through the hardest and darkest moments April speaks about the influences through New Mexico music scene. The alcohol which is typically associated with the scene, and the celebrations. The darkest moments of losing friends and her total devotion to her mother who continues to be a pillar and foundational matriarch. I am so very exited for you all to hear this story. Every day individuals struggle with addiction and recovery. It takes the lack of judgmental "finger pointing" to see an addiction for what it is. April shares how the "system" was necessary in her situation to hold the accountability that was needed for her recovery and sobriety today.With the permission of one of the most prominent and prestigious New Mexico family bands, "The Blue Ventures," April requested that we spotlight no better song than, Ayudame.

BOBBY MADRID "IF I CAN DO IT, ANYONE CAN!"

Bobby Madrid from Villa Nueva NM  began his musical talents as a young determined school boy. He was introduced to NM Music by his father. He never was raised listening to NM music but was instantly intrigued by the sound. Bobby was encouraged to learn other instruments because trumpet did NOT come easy to him. However, Bobby's determination would be his saving grace. Not only did it make him one of NM finest horn players in NM Music, but it would be key to his sobriety and success today. Bobby opens up about the struggles in NM music while drinking heavily and then the pivotal turning point where sobriety was necessary.

The 2 Vito's and the Magic Guitar

I am so happy to finally be getting back to Vibe NM with two amazing artist's. Vito Sr. played all over the united States and shared the stage with prestigious musicians. He eventually came back to NM. Within this time he collaborated with musicians and Vito Sr. influenced a unique sound with a unique guitar and specific Amp.  He manifested this guitar and it appeared after a long period of time in his home town of Taos. This story is only one of the amazing stories you will hear on this episode of Vibe NM.  Vito Jr. who is no stranger to NM music scene. Vito Jr was his fathers right hand man. He then developed a love for music and the guitar. This influential sound developed and the two are a father son duo. Vito not only is a talented NM musician, as many within NM music know he also a highly respected New Mexico DJ for New Mex Radio. Vito easily became one of NM favorite interviewers.  As many of you who follow Vibe NM know I recently explained the pause within Vibe NM. This is because of the many events and opportunities that have presented themselves not only to myself as Andrea Michelle, but also Grupo "Divino" who Anthony and I are so blessed to be a part of.  Originally when we recorded this episode we had so much fun! Like every episode we try to make it as laid back as possible. Our hopes is that you feel you are sitting in the same room with us. (And yes that with all the kids and barking dogs as well) The goal is to really give the listeners a feeling that they are being shown a very honest, raw and real perspective of the NM musician or artist experience.  This time was not the best in regards to the sound quality. This was a technical sound error that was fixed for future episodes. We felt terrible, as we would like everyone to hear clearly the overall message. However, the content from Vito Sr. and Vito Jr was irreplaceable. And so with permission from the amazing "Vito's" and after much consideration of rerecording, it was decided to go ahead with the original recording.  Continue to support NM Musician's and Artists and share Vibe NM with your family and friends. Ask how you can be a sponsor!
