The Barriotix
A Guitar-Singing Ensemble

If you are an immigrant to the US, it does not take much to think about the days of being out in the province: either as a visitor, or someone who is homegrown to its culture and traditions. Of course, when we speak of culture, Filipinos most likely will gravitate to the music and songs of their lives. The Barriotix brings back songs from the past that remind us of our times in the barrio…the kundiman, or syrupy love songs that one cannot easily forget. Those sung ‘under the starry, moonlit night’, as we always say. Allow Abe and Ricky Legaspi, Danny and Jeah Lambino and Roger Rigor be musical hosts in the array of songs that we can enjoy together.

MEMBERS

ABE LEGASPI (Guitar) - currently works at the Metro Lines in Maintenance; our repository for archived songs of the past…

LITO CASTRO - A pro in the acoustic guitar; a self-learner in guitar playing---you name it, and he can play it. Currently a regular player at a senior center located in Edmonds.

DANNY LAMBINO - One of the names from the past in the community of Seattle. He is now fully retired but continues to be the best in dabbling with his collection of electric vintage guitars.

JEAH LAMBINO - wife of Danny; the only female singer in the group. She is now currently working at UW Health...when back in the Philippines, she was the lead singer of a country band... Needless to say, she was much younger then but could sing the oldies-but-goodies…
