阿寶 - ABAO
Aljenljeng Tjaluvie, known professionally as Abao, is an Indigenous Taiwanese singer and songwriter. Born in Taitung County, she is of the Paiwan people and performs in their language. Additionally, she is fluent in Taiwanese Hokkien and Mandarin. In 2003, she debuted with the group Abao & Brandy and won the Golden Melody Award for Best Vocal Ensemble. As a solo artist, she released an album entirely in the Paiwan language, Vavayan in 2016, and won the Golden Melody Award for Best Aboriginal Language Album the following year. On October 3, 2020, Abao won the Golden Melody Award for Best Aboriginal Language Album and the Album of the Year for Kinakaian, as well as the Song of the Year Award with "Thank You". Abao has stated that her music is meant to increase the pride of Taiwanese indigenous peoples in their cultures and languages, citing her own lack of fluency in Paiwan as a motivating factor. She collaborates with her mother to write the lyrics and correct her pronunciation. Additionally, she has established the label Nanguaq to distribute music from indigenous artists. Abao wrote an autobiography that was released in 2022.
