Francis Magalona Foundation: Get Involved

Francis Magalona
(October 4, 1964 – March 6, 2009)

In Metro Manila there are over 700,000 public high school students. According to statistics only 1 out of 100 of them will go on to college with the hopes of achieving their bigger dreams in the future. For many that do not have the same opportunity, hope for a better life seems to end there.

There is no limit to your greatness and to what you can achieve! This is the message that the Francis Magalona Foundation (FMF) would like to share with the Filipino youth.

DONATE - PARTNER - VOLUNTEER - BUY MERCHANDISE

Event This Week:

Exclusive! New Francis M. Video "Higante"-Francis M and Ely Buendia

This is a track from the highly anticipated posthumous album from the master rapper expected to drop this Oct. 5,2009.

Watawat / 1896 - Francis M.

Better late then never..Another video from the late master rapper, form the album Interscholastic. Directed by Raymond Red

As we celebrate Independence Day. We feature a video and a track from the man who started this Urban Patriotism in the local hip-hop scene. This is an enough proof to see that the late Francis M. was way ahead of his time. A trendsetter that was followed by others late or years before they even cope up to Francis M. words/lyrics.

First is a video that was released 10 years ago, right before everyone started shouting, rapping, singing Filipino!! and wearing Maka-bayan / Filipino gears. The video is directed by Raymond Red who also directed the TV Movie "Kamada" in 1997 where Francis M. stars as the lead actor and it won on the 1997 P.B.A. Awards as "Best TV Special" of the year. Raymond red is considered as one of the first revolutionary filmmakers here in the country. His elder brother Jon Red started releasing Indie Movies in the early 2000 and Francis M. appeared on one of its movie "Astigmatism" in 2004 and it won numerous awards internationally.

Second is a track that was released in 1996 from the compilation "1896 Ang Pagsilang” which includes artists such as Eraserheads, The Youth,Alamid, Francism, Grace Nono, Wency Cornejo, Sugar Hiccup and Francis M. as the only rap/hip-hop artist on the said album.
The track was also included on Francis M's "Happy Battle" album that was released in 1997.

Francis M.: Collectors Edition CDs

This box set contains Francis M.'s first 3 albums (Yo !, Rap is Francis M & Meron Akong Ano) that is Digitally Remastered and includes Bonus Tracks on each CD.

Personally I am really happy that Francis M.'s early albums were finally released here in PI. I always wanted to have a CD copy of his first 3 albums. I even tried to order @ regalfilms.com where it is only available back then but they only allow US residents to order. So for me who is residing here in P.I. have no choice but to wait for this to be released here.. But now that is released here and some of my friends already bought a copy. I should have mine too.. But I am really having a second thought about this.. Why?.. Way back in 2006 when I was still researching on where to get FM's 1st 3 albums, I accidentally discovered his personal webpage on multiply.com. Then me as a fan created an account on that site to get in touch with him and try to buy copies of his albums.. I sent a personal message to him and he replied that he don’t have copies of his albums for sale and he sent me the link on his blog where all his album covers was uploaded, And as I read the comments. There is one that really caught my attention and it is a comment from Francis M. himself… A comment that really stucked on my mind since I read it. That is why when they re-issue his albums. I immediately searched his blog if it still exists and prove that my memory serves me right so I can share it here on SoulSonic.

I am not trying to discourage the fans to buy this album actually i am really thinking to get one. I just want the readers to know how Record Labels run their business that even The King of Phil. Rap was ripped off on the rights of his own songs.
I don't know if Francis M. managed to buy the rights to his songs before he died. If not I just hope that the record labels should at least give some of the profit from FM's albums to his family or to charities like Phil. National Red Cross. But who am i to speak.. Business is Business right? And them record labels are running real business.
