Funky Barrels Led by Frank Kakra

In the world of music, a hidden gem has emerged with the release of the anthology, "Finding Frank," by RastaPastaRecords. The production, which showcases the work of the lesser-known musician Frank Kakra, is garnering attention for its quality and rarity.

The anthology, composed of records produced between 1976 and 1979, offers a comprehensive collection of Kakra's music. High-quality labels such as Les Mains Noires, Analog Africa, and Oriki Music have recognised Kakra's talent, but none have achieved a comprehensive release like "Finding Frank."

The records in question are often original and rare, reflected in their high price. Kakra's music is a fusion of hypnotic guitar riffs, stratospheric organs, reggae rhythms, and psychedelic echoes. One standout track is the funky highlife version, "Call Me Frank."

Kakra is placed among the top musicians of that time, alongside Ebo Taylor and Pat Thomas. If Pat Thomas were to experience a resurgence, it could be compared to Kakra's current revival. However, despite the growing interest, there is a lack of detailed information about Frank Kakra or the "Finding Frank" anthology online.

It seems that either Kakra and the anthology are very recent, niche, or not widely covered in publicly available online sources. For those eager to learn more, checking RastaPastaRecords' official channels or platforms dedicated to the anthology might provide the most accurate insights.

In conclusion, "Finding Frank" is an evocative title for an anthology that is considered precious in the music industry. With its comprehensive nature and the quality of the productions, it is a must-listen for any music enthusiast.

The anthology "Finding Frank" offers a comprehensive collection of Frank Kakra's music, which is a fusion of hypnotic guitar riffs, stratospheric organs, reggae rhythms, and psychedelic echoes, making it an exciting addition to the realm of entertainment for music aficionados. Despite the lack of readily available online information about Kakra or the anthology, it is highly recommended for those eager to immerse themselves in an unprecedented release from a lesser-known but highly talented musician.
