Kruhay" means "Long Live!" in Kinaray-a, a language native to Panay Island in central Philippines. The song, based on a folk-tale, narrates the arrival of 10 Bornean datus exiled by their ruler, Sultan Makatunaw. They reached the shores of Antique in balangays (boats) and brought saduk (wide-brimmed hat) and kulintas (necklace) which they bartered with the indigenous Ati. This ethnic composition by Antiqueno musician Benny F. Castillon has been performed in some of the biggest choral competitions worldwide and often accompanied by tultog, a traditional ethnic bamboo percussion. - Description from PsalmiDeo chorale facebook post
