Rest in Peace: Francis Magalona

It was only 5 months ago when I attended the tribute concert for Francis Magalona, as invited also by my friend Mon.  I cannot believe that the talented man that started Pinoy Rap has left us.

 

His Eat Bulaga family confirmed the news that Francis Magalona passed away today, succumbing to his battle with Leukemia.  Francis M is still such a young soul to be taken away from his family, friends and people he has inspired, one of which is Gloc9.

 

Master Rapper Francis “Kiko” Magalona last wrote on his multiply entry on January  14, informing his next series of tests and medication.

 

 

I remember that I used to sing “Mga Kababayan” with my sister Joyce when I was a little tot, much to my Tito and Tita’s delight, who in turn gave P10 for each performance.  Kaleidoscope was a true favorite while I was growing up.  People are truly saddened by the loss of a great OPM artist, who is also known as a good family man.

Kwjan (I hope I spelled it right), Gloc 9 and Martin McFly were part of the list of performers staged to play that night as a tribute to Francis M.  Gloc-9 speech about Francis M was really touching.
