Fil-Am Musician Abe Lagrimas Jr On His Latest Album, Love for Music and Jazz Ukulele

A musician with a passion for ukulele, Abe Lagrimas, Jr. is a Filipino American solo ukulele artist who just released his album titled “Beyond Words” last month.

As a composer, educator and multi-instrumentalist, Lagrimas usually has a very busy schedule of gigging, teaching and touring the world. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, the free time he had helped him focus on album creation.

“I suddenly had a lot of time for myself and a lot of good things came out of it. I began practicing regularly, actively listening to more music, and spent more time composing,” he shared.

“I wrote enough material and felt that it would be a fun project to work towards making an album.”

“Beyond Words” is Lagrimas’ eighth solo album which features eight instrumental songs of his original composition.
