Description: FRANK, THECLA CLARA & MARIA REGINA HUMPLICK ‘Frank & His Sisters' Vinyl Record LP Record Pressed on black vinyl! - Limited Pressing Tanzanian Pop from 1950s! Comes with 8-page booklet You are bidding on a brand new copy of the ‘self titled’ Lp from renowned singers / pop group - ‘Frank & His Sisters’ Now own your very own copy that you can cherish and love and admire and be considered the envy of all of your friends! The world’s first collection of gorgeous pop songs from Frank and His Sisters, a family band from Moshi, Tanzania. Formed in the early 1950s by Frank Humplick, Thecla Clara and Maria Regina, the trio recorded and toured throughout East Africa and issued a string of instant classics, capturing fans with their beautifully harmonized singing, clever lyrics, and Frank’s stunning guitar work. Imagine the fingerstyle finesse of John Fahey with a pure pop melodicism, combined with the family harmony of groups like The Carter Family, The Roches, and The Beach Boys, set in the golden age of Tanzanian music! Frank composed many of his songs while working the land on his beloved tractor (really), and once instigated a house-to-house search to destroy all copies of his record “Yes/No” due to its politically subversive lyrics. He went on to record and tour with the Jambo Boys band before retiring from the music industry in the early 1960s, to focus on his passion for agriculture. But his favorite songs were always the ones he created with his sisters, and we are proud to present 12 of their best. Previously only heard on extremely rare 78 rpm discs and Tanzanian oldies radio, this album collects the trio’s finest songs, lovingly restored and remastered. We love this music so much that in late 2018 we traveled to Tanzania to meet Frank’s family and... more. For cover, see picture below.TRACKLISTING: 1. Mwanangu Lala 2. Kafo Mshiki 3.
