TONIGHT of FM STATIC - story behind

It was really a sad story. The composer was engaged with her long time girlfriend. As they depart for work, her girlfriend died and was one of the victims of the Sept. 11 incident at Twin Towers. He was so deeply heartbroken and devastated, thus, composed that song in honor of her girlfriend. As you hear the song, it portrays much of longing for that someone whom you've missed so much!

Remembering Francis "KIKO" Magalona

Farncis Magalona, also known as Kiko not only made waves in the music industry as a solo artist but as a collaborator and a music video director as well.

It is no surprise that Francis Magalona came from a family of performers. He was brought up with art and he certainly lived by it. Nevertheless, he worked his way up from being a staff artist, dancer, actor, and then eventually moving on to music - an arena he is most remembered by. How could anyone forget his first album "Yo!?" Every self respecting filipino of that period celebrated Francis' Hits such as Mga Kababayan Ko, Gatta Let 'Cha Know, Cold Summer nights, and Man From Manila. I was through Francis that filipino music listeners realized that it is possible to create a union of rap and patriotism without it being too preachy. the Album celebrated as a commercial success and through this the Filipino music scene started taking notice of Filipino Rap.

We recognized him as the original urban patriot. for Francis Magalona, his Filipino pride was never just a gimmick or an artistic way of breaking into a music scene. he was always consistent of speaking of his supprot for anything Pinoy and because he believed in making urban patriotism a lifestyle, he created the Francis M Clothing Company or FMCC along with Carlo Maniquez in hopes of making a"Filipino" brand worthy enough to be recognized on the world stage.

Rapper, actor, host, musicians, photograher and father. these are just some of many role that Francis M has dedicated himself to his 44 years of existence. Loving oneself is certainly a brand that Francis Magalona has adhered to all his life. In his kaleidoscope world, music and patriotism are two geniune truths that one must live by. And even if his illness suddenly took him away , his name will definitely live on through all Filipinos who at one point in their lives couldn't drink "Royal Tru Orange" without hearing "Ito Ang Gusto Ko".

While Francis Magalona may no longer be with us, we understand, appreciate, and respect that place that he carved out for himself through the music he made.

Paalam Kiko!!!
