Kaipa

Not to be confused with Kalpa.

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). Roine Stolt joined Kaipa as their guitarist when he was 17. In 1974 also, shortly after they had cut the "Ura" from the name of the band, their self-titled debut released. Stolt went on to form The Flower Kings. Kaipa reunited for 2002's Notes From The Past. Stolt quit Kaipa after Mindrevolutions, but the band has continued without him.
