About Me

Do you want to join Candide as a new singer or member?
Contact us: [email protected]
Started around 1984 by Mats and Beppe. Mange came along. Wrote alot of songs, did some gigs and released some demos. Had some local hits and some minor regional hits, in our genre. December 2006, we did a new recording of an old song once called "I wanna dance" now "Lady". After that Mats and Magne had better things to do... for the moment, Candide is voiceless.
We make music just as we did in the 80's
