Kaka, aka Richard Karlsson, just released his self titled album in the UK on March 9th by way of Stockholm based label Despotz Records. Kaka started his musical career as a guitarist, singer and songwriter in the indie band The Tambureens in the late 90's. After The Tambureens disbanded, Kaka joined The Mo, which toured frequently and released two albums, with the song "Nostalgia Locomotive" taking a no.1 position on the Swedish single chart. Kaka wrote material during this period and eventually left The Mo and subsequently spent a year and a half recording the album. audio: [...]
Kaka released his self-titled debut album just last week, and to promote it I've got not one, not two, but three of the songs from the album for download. Unfortunately Kaka isn't the footballer Kaka, but a Swedish artist of the same name. Either way, both produce beautiful stuff. Download: Kaka - 'It's a Longshot' Kaka - 'The Hotspurs' Kaka - 'What a Frame' More info: http://www.myspace.com/kakaric ky
Kaka is just the type of Swedish band that the hordes will expect at SXSW. He's got that euro pop sound down cold. He's also got that cool detached Swedish vibe going on. "It's A Longshot" is from Kaka's debut record which came out in Feb. of 2008. It's a catchy bit of electro fluff. See Kaka live at the Elysium on Wednesday the 18th. It's A Long Shot
Nothing really going on around here today except cleaning out the 'ol email. Of course, this means I plow through veritable mountains of crap and serve up stuff that is at least marginally OK. No guarantees, though. A few of these are top notch (Vic & Elf Power, A. Armada, Gnarls) and the others you'll have to decide for yourself because I'm on the fence. Some of this stuff is a few months old, some of it brand new. What do you care, anyway? They're free. Have fun. MP3: The Christmas Lights-Show Your Teeth [...]
Words By D. Chanda English soccer team Manchester City offered Italian club AC Milan 107-million British pounds for player Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, better known as Kaká. That's about $147 million, and two-thirds of Milan's 2007 total annual revenue. Is any athlete worth that kind of expenditure on top of a salary? In soccer, clubs rarely sign free agents, instead openly purchasing talent from other teams (and in other leagues). The offer Man City made to Milan was more than double the record of 46 million pounds Real Madrid paid to Italian giant Juventus for [...]
Football lives to see another day. For a while I thought Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite better known as the legendary Kakà was going to succumb to the charms of the petrol-dollars and become the World's most expensive player but something happened behind the scenes that changed all that. Only one man is mad enough (and a [...]
Kaka, or Rickard Karlsson which is his real name, started his career in Tambureens as a singer guitarist and songwriter. After this followed a few years in the band The Mo, and after the band's breakup in 2005 he is now going solo under the name Kaka. Kaka's debut album ( Despotz Records ) was released last year in Sweden and you can get a taste from his energetic pop here below. If you want to listen more you can visit Kaka on Last.fm and on Myspace . The [...]

With most bands and publicists in vacation mode last week and since after two holiday mixtapes , our well of indie Christmas carols and Hanukkah hymns was beginning to run dry, we didn't have much to work with for last week's Friday Mixtape. So we decided to scrap it and return with one this week that would be down right bangin'. Suffice to say, I think we accomplished our mission. Below you'll find a mix of this week's best new singles, covers, and remixes along with a multitude of mp3s from some talented up-and-comers. Enjoy! [...]
That old mailbox problem persists, so here are 4 of the better tracks recently found in the mailbox. + Murder Mystery – The World This is another one of those charming indie pop tunes that's absolutely impossible to resist. + The Online Romance – Ladybug, Don't Smile Dreamy folk-pop tune with lovely harmonies. + Kaka – What a [...]
Richard Karlsson, aka Kaka (and no I don't mean the Brazilian Futbol phenom), has had a long history in the indie fold serving as a guitarist, singer and song writer, in a plethora of bands. He has taken his talents and over the last year and a half, recorded a self titled solo album. The first single What a Frame is an upbeat, energetic, pop song boasting horns and addictive choruses. Check it out and look for a performance at SXSW in March.
The almost obligatory goals and game plans are launched this time of year, sometimes based on last years failures or the continued snippets of self praise you have saved for that rainy day. This year, putting aside the numerous take-down notices and the odd legal letter causing some mild bottom fluctuations, we will be almost certainly reviewing a larger proportion of unsigned and independent artists and generally promoting the expanding live scene a lot more. Here`s to a few of you sticking around this year and giving us the perfect excuse to annoy some more people, maybe even making a [...]
You seriously need to have enormous talent and unending courage to name yourself as a artist some kind of moniker as questionable as Kaka . But for the Swedish indie popster born Richard Karlsson, it doesn't seem like either of those qualities are too far from center. The former member of The Tambureens and The Mo, Karlsson just completed work on the self-titled debut album that's set for release in the UK in March via Despotz Records (no word on US availability) and he'll be storming SXSW the same month to prove his populist chops. [...]
Kaka eller Richard Karlsson som han heter är inte någon nykomling. Innan han började spela in sitt soloalbum för ett och ett halvt år sedan har han varit med i grupper som The Tambureens och The Mo. What A Frame är den första singeln från det självbetitlade albumet som släpps i mars. Ladda ner popdängan här . Ifall han lyckas ta sig till första platsen på singellistan, som han gjorde tillsammans med The Mo och låten Nostalgia Locomotiv , återstår att se.
RSK Entertainment Ltd. has licensed Kaka 's underappreciated debut album for release in the UK on March 9. The record will also be released throughout all of Scandinavia on March 4 via Playground Music.

But actually, it is also a Swedish one-man band with a very "name-dropping" bio. Kaka is thus Richard Karlsson, previously [...]
