Francis Durango Magalona (October 4, 1964 – March 6, 2009), also known as FrancisM, Master Rapper, The Mouth and The Man From Manila, was a Filipino rapper, entrepreneur, songwriter, producer, actor, director, and photographer. Born in Mandaluyong City, he was the first Filipino rapper in the Philippines to cross over into the mainstream. He was credited for having pioneered the merging of rap with Pinoy rock, becoming a significant influence to artists in that genre as well. He was also a television host on MTC Asia and Channel V Philippines and on noontime variety television show Eat Bulaga! Magalona died seven months after being diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia. Magalona was later awarded a posthumous Presidential Medal of Merit. The award's citation noted that it had been given "for his musical and artistic brilliance, his deep faith in the Filipino and his sense of national pride that continue to inspire us."
The first time I heard this song was when my sister is listening to it on Myx and I had LSS (last song syndrome) after that. It's just a clever title to how complex the world and society are pretty much. A kaleidoscope never seems to give us the same image, much like the experiences we encounter in life. He is saying that it's a crazy world with a multitude of differences and contrasts. The point the song is trying to make is that in order to exist successfully and with peace, we must learn to co-exist and cooperate.
