Kaleidoscope World Forever More


FRANCIS M. & ELMO 

Every color and every hue
is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin’ round, make it twirl

in this kaleidoscope world

These are only a few great words from Francis M., a man who spoke and performed many.

He was the grand master of Filipino rap, performing songs like “MgaKababayan”,  “Tayo’yMgaPinoy”, and of course, “Kaleidoscope World”. He collaborated with an assortment of artists, like Ely Buendia, Ryan Cayabyab, Gloc-9 and Michael V. While he is no longer with us, his songs and ideals live on.

Elmo Magalona, son of the late Master Rapper, is quickly following in his father’s footsteps. His showbiz career has barely begun, and yet he’s already a regular in noontime shows as both a performer and a host. He has also won a slew of awards for his musical performances.

Today, a legend and his up-and-coming son come together in a musical performance that defies time. “Kaleidoscope World”, one of Francis M.’s most memorable songs, will serve as the setting for this rare treat.

This all-new version, “Kaleidoscope World Forever More”, is powered by Oishi Prawn Crackers, a snack whose own legacy as a well loved Filipino snack has endured since the 1974.

In the “Kaleidoscope World Forever More” music video, you are treated to the original footage of Francis M. in the same slightly faded, grainy quality, dancing and singing with Elmo, who is carefully edited to seem as if he were always there. The effect of father and son performing in unison to the timeless music evokes an unavoidable feeling of nostalgia.

Francis M.’s legacy will likely endure forevermore—for as long as there are Filipinos who love their country and their music. This tribute from Oishi Prawn Crackers will only be one of many to come. Indeed, some things are never forgotten.
