Kaipa

Per Nilsson

Kaipa is a Swedish progressive rock musical group.

History

The band was originally formed under the name Ura Kaipa by Hans Lundin (keys) and Tomas Eriksson (bass).^[1] Roine Stolt joined Kaipa as their guitarist when he was 17. In 1974, shortly after they had cut the "Ura" from the name of the band, they released their self-titled debut album. Stolt went on to form The Flower Kings. Kaipa reunited for 2002's Template:Notes from the Past (Kaipa album). Stolt quit Kaipa after Mindrevolutions, but the band has continued without him.
