Ado．Kaliting．Pacidal

Ado Kaliting Pacidal is a songwriter, a singer and a television host; she is also a talented and learned student of culture. Her elders gave her the name Ado, which echoes the saying from the myths of the Amis (Pangcah) people that “we sing to make the gods happy.” This name foretold that someday Ado would bring everyone joy with her singing.

Ado is proud of her Amis heritage and ardently loves her tribal home. Concerned about the threat her people face of having their culture disappear, she infuses her songwriting with aboriginal color. From when she was a student and from her days of working in the mountains and nights in the tribal villages, she sang her way to the pedestrian underpasses and pubs of the city and finally to performances in places all over the world. She puts all of her own personality into her music and uses her melodic voice to move her listeners. This kind of music has to possess strong inborn passion, and that is what Ado has.
