Arr. Joel Malit
Kay Lungkot Nitong Hating Gabi is a kundiman composed by Santiago S. Suarez and arranged by Pedro Concepción. The title translates to “How Lonely This Midnight Is”, and the song captures the quiet sorrow of solitude in the stillness of night. Its tender, melancholic melody and poignant lyrics reflect the depth of longing and heartache that characterize the kundiman tradition. Through Concepción’s arrangement, the piece maintains its emotional power while bringing renewed life to Suarez’s hauntingly beautiful composition.
