Abrigo 'Ohana

The Abrigo 'Ohana is Timi and Quinn Abrigo and their mom Lanet Abrigo. The group focuses on the greats of Hawaiian music, and brings the old style back into the limelight.

Timi Abrigo is a versatile musician, adept on several instruments including the 'ukulele, slack key guitar, and the Hawaiian steel guitar. He may be one of the last active Hawaiian Steel Guitar player from the Rogers family style of playing. He was a student of Ronald Kanahele who passed a few years ago. Fred Lunt who was also a student of Feet Rogers also passed away a few years ago. Timi started playing music at the age of 10 years old.

His sister Emily, then seven, picked up the bass guitar to play along with her big brother. Timi became the head of the band holding the lead instrument, ukulele, and the lead vocal. Three year old Quinn handled percussion for the group. Like magic, their little band was born. Since then, the band has performed at many venues and events, and has orgainzed the Waimea Valley and Bishop Museum Kanikapilas. The band independently released their three CDs: 'Ekahi (2011), Opae'ula (2015), and Christmas Rush (2015). All three of these CDs went on to become finalists in Hawaii's prestigious Na Hoku Hanohano awards.

Today, the band performs several live performances each month at popular local venues, and their ongoing community work includes teaching 'ukulele, Hawaiian slack key guitar, steel guitar, and vocal coaching for all ages
