Ferera And Franchini

Duet comprised of [a1049219] and Anthony Franchini Also known to record as "Frank Ferera - Anthony Franchini" In circa 1920, following the death of [a1049219]'s wife [a1700445], Ferera and Franchini began a long musical partnership. Of the many Hawaiian musicians who were active up through 1930 (when Ferera stopped recording), it was he who probably had the greatest public exposure -- indeed, it has been estimated that "Of all Hawaiian recordings made between 1915 and 1930, it is said that Frank Ferera appeared on at least a quarter of them" (Ruymar). Some of the estimated 2,000 discs he cut – including tracks with [a1700445] -- remain available on various Hawaiian CD compilations to this day.
