Tribu is a collaboration between Noy and Ginji Pillora, a Filipino husband and Israeli wife duo. Noy is a former member of the legendary filipino band, Asin. …Ang Karugtong
is an original Filipino music inspired with a variation of musical forms
from the northern and southern tribes of the Philippine Archipelago. It
is trying to create a synthesis between the existing Filipino cultures
by combining the musical elements of both cultures. This album opens you
to a diversified musical instrumentation. Some were adopted from the tribes
such as the kulintang, faglong gong, kuling and other indigenous instrumentations
such as the guitar, sitar and drums. (from the liner notes, …Ang Karugtong)
