An Intimate Afternoon of Music with Antonia Apodaca and Cipriano Vigil 

Viva Antonia!!! ( I know she has passed away now, but her memory and legacy live on. So, I would rather say "Viva" to the spirit of this extraordinary woman.)

Wow the was the greatest video ever. Total masterpiece! Tears ran down my face as i watched the duo walk hand in hand at the end. I love my new mexican heritage. Two totally gifted artists. Arriba NUEVO Mexico!

Grandma Toni (my wife's grandma) was such a character. Will never forget the Saturday 10 years ago when she "took over" my then 5 year old's birthday party. I left the house long enough to get some extra refreshments and when I got back a fiesta had broken out :) She had enlisted a Presbyterian minister friend of mine (with his guitar) and a couple praise bank musicians who had stopped by. In my little 1500 square foot house I had 30 people singing with Grandma Toni. Good times

Her son, Mr. Apodaca, taught at my elementary school Longfellow. He used to live on the same street as me WAYY back in the day. I remember meeting his mom at our chorus practice in his classroom. Great memories. She was a lovely lady then and still is now.

True New Mexican treasures. Thanks to both of you.

Just heard for the first time & it made me cry. It's music from my mother's time & my youth. Beautiful just Beautiful.

Wow this made my day! Brought back memories of good ole days on the porch of my grandparents house (Cleofus and Anita Rougemont) in Pecos New Mexico!

My Grampo Jose used to play guitar in this style. An rare sight these days. God bless you both!!! Matias

Soy Griego de un ranchito de Cedro en Las Montañas en Tijeras.. que Díos the bendiga. Que Rico talento..

Precious and timeless! I take every opportunity to play, sing and visit with my 86 year old Pop. We must preserve this tradition... It's our culture and our legacy.

Antonia would make a wonderful entertainer at social events. She is truly a treasure of old Mexico and makes one wonder what she looked like 70 years ago when she may have started her career as a singer musician .

I could listen ALL DAY LONG! How wonderful!! The memories that music brings to us!! Lovely, and cudos to you both for sharing the video! How wonderful to look back on, for your families... Blessings!

What a treasure. Brings a tear to my eyes.

Thank you!!! Antonia a treasure of New Mexico!!!

I keep stopping cause I am in tears. Brings back so many memories of my loved ones. Singing together y playing thier instruments old songs... Lord Have Mercy

Me encanta el estilo de la mùsica tradicional del norte de Nuevo Mèxico. Admiro a la señora Antonia y deseo que las nuevas generaciones de neomexicanos no olviden sus raìces y preserven esta hermosa tradiciòn, and yeah, I agree with those people that think that she is a living treasure!

She is awesome! I so admire any musician for having the persistence to master an instrument. 🎶 ❤

Very enjoyable music. Reminds me of the music that I heard as a child.

The song at 24:18 was written by Santiago Jimenez Sr. of San Antonio, so it's exciting to hear it recorded in northern New Mexico. Santiago Jimenez Jr. once mentioned having visited a woman in New Mexico who, like him, played accordion. I wonder if it was Antonia Apodaca.

How beautiful and special is this...I'm in my feels..I love this.

We have loved Antonia since 1985 when we first met her. Ken and Jeanie (Bayou Seco) have taken her to many places, Pt Townsend Washington, San Diego, Washington DC at the Folk Life Festival, Arizona and Texas, Wyoming, and many places in New Mexico. She is a trun treasure and we love her very much.

I love this so much..❤

Спасибо!!! Потрясающе!!!

Orale Cippy you still have it Love it GIto

Amazing NM Music and Artists from yesteryears

I love this . I want to play my violin with you and learn the old rancheras.. God bless you .

I wonder if she knew my grandma- they about same age. She grew up Las Vegas too. Trujillo was maiden name and Josephine Martinez who had the landmark house lol we’d go visit every summer when I was a kid. This Toni reminds me of my grandma - they grew up same time same place . My grandma played the guitar too and loved to have so many pictures pictures on the wall. Her personality reminds me of grams.

Awesome God bless her

These two personify wisdom -- in their words, their attitudes, and their faces -- especially Antonia. RIP Grand Lady

Pretty sure he was my NM landlady's nephew and he sang at her funeral. (Florida Tafoya). What a special moment.

Great music from great people from New Mexico god bless both ❤🎼🎼

Que Viva Nuevo Mejico. Queremos mucha mas musica como lo que tocan estos musicos pero ya Antonia Apodaca se nos adelanto y no se sabe mucho de Cipriano Vigil. Nesesitamos mas musica de esta clase que alegra el corazon de la jente. Ya ni bailes ay como antes cuando la jente vivia muy feliz.
