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.
