KAKRA, DE FRANK	Finding De Frank	3LP	RASTAPASTARECORDS	RPRFDF 001LP
$56.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 6/6/2025 Not much is known about De Frank Kakra -- let alone his birth name or where he is today. A few liner notes scattered across his records give a glimpse of his career as a backing vocalist and percussionist on the Ghanaian highlife scene of the 1970s, notably with Vis-A-Vis, K. Frimpong's band (Cubano Fiestas). He later formed his own bands, The Professionals and The Diggit Ways, alongside Sammy Copper, recording throughout West Africa. His recordings have now been unearthed, remastered and compiled in a triple LP anthology of his musical works. Although much remains unknown, RastaPastaRecords' goal is to ascertain several discoveries made about his life during the production of this record and to continue the research. Call Me Frank is a funky take on 1970s highlife set to a vintage Afro -- rock fusion that evokes a time when West African dance floors vibrated with raw energy and relentless groove. "Psychedelic Man" is a full dive into the De Frank Kakra sound. With its hypnotic guitar riffs, cosmic organs and head-nodding drum rhythms, this infectious anthem will plunge you into a state of nostalgic psychedelia. 24-track triple LP in trifold packaging. A powerful mix of hypnotic guitars, cosmic organs and relentless grooves.
