A.k.a. Erik "Eeki" Mantere Frank Krappa
Erik Kristian "Eeki" Mantere (January 25, 1949 in Helsinki – April 30, 2007 in Espoo) was a Finnish musician that became famous in the 1970s as Viktor Kalborrek, soloist of the band Hullujussi. After Hullujussi disbanded in 1976, Mantere continued to perform as Viktor Kalborrek until the new millennium, albeit mainly in restaurants, department stores and TV programs. Playing a character that strongly resembled Kalborrek, he acted in the Seppo Huunonen movie The Hair from 1974. In 1989, he played Kalborrek in a supporting role in the Visa Mäkinen film Screws on Loose. In the Juha Tapaninen movie, the Iskelmäprinssi from 1991, Mantere dropped the Kaborrek act and played an Italian fashion guru.
