Kaleidoscope World is a 1995 song performed by the late Filipino rap artist Francis Magalona. It was first included in his 1995 studio album Freeman.[1] The song is also included in a later album, Best of FrancisM.[2]
The song went on to win 1996 Awit Award for Best Produced Record of the Year, and the 1996 NU 107 Rock Award for Song of the Year. Its music video was directed by the celebrated director/cinematographer Raymond Red, and showed Magalona, his band Hardware Syndrome, his backup singers "the Evil Stepsisters", and the respective children of Magalona and Red at that time.[3][4][5]
After Magalona's death the song was the one used in many of the tributes to the artist, including an audio-visual presentation from Eat Bulaga!, the noontime variety program of which Magalona was a co-host, and a short rendering of the song at the Eraserheads' "Final Set" reunion concert, which the band dedicated to Magalona.[6]
