Biography
Abao (Aljenljeng Tjaluvie in Paiwan) is an Indigenous Taiwanese singer born August 25, 1981, in Taitung County. She belongs to the Paiwan people and performs primarily in their language, though she is also fluent in Taiwanese Hokkien and Mandarin.
Her career launched in 2003 as part of the group Abao & Brandy, which immediately won a Golden Melody Award for Best Vocal Ensemble. As a solo artist, she released Vavayan ("Woman") entirely in Paiwan in 2016, earning the Golden Melody Award for Best Aboriginal Language Album the following year. Her 2020 album Kinakaian ("Mother Tongue") marked a commercial and critical peak: it won Album of the Year, Best Aboriginal Language Album, and yielded the Song of the Year Award for the track "Thank You".
Abao's mission centers on cultural preservation and pride—she has stated her music exists to deepen Taiwanese Indigenous peoples' connection to their own languages and traditions, drawing from her own early lack of Paiwan fluency as motivation. She collaborates with her mother on lyrics and pronunciation. Beyond performance, she founded the independent label Nanguaq (meaning "good" in Paiwan) to distribute music by Indigenous artists, and released an autobiography, Ari帶著問號往前走 ("ari" meaning "let's go"), in 2022. As a Capricorn born in 1981 and Life Path 3, she channels creativity and expression into cultural advocacy [F1, birth enrichments].

Abao grew up in Taitung County as part of the Paiwan Indigenous community but was not fluent in her ancestral language during childhood. This gap in her own cultural knowledge later became a driving force behind her artistic mission to preserve and celebrate Paiwan culture for her generation and younger Taiwanese Indigenous peoples.
