Frank And His Sisters Frank & His Sisters

The world's first collection of gorgeous pop songs from Frank and His Sisters, a family band from Moshi, Tanzania. Formed in theearly 1950s by Frank Humplick, Thecla Clara and Maria Regina, thetrio recorded and toured throughout East Africa and issued a stringof instant classics, capturing fans with their beautifully harmonizedsinging, clever lyrics, and Frank's stunning guitar work. Previously only heard on painfully 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 collaborate On this album. The result is a colorful 8-page booklet featuring complete lyrics in English, Swahili and Chaga, as well as previously unpublished photographs, extensive interviews and anecdotes, and a biography by Tanzanian musician and radio host John Kitime. All tracks fully licensed from the Humplick family.
