Chiquita is a dansband from Alingsås, Sweden that was formed in 1968, the first years until 1972 the band was called "Chiquita Brass" but after that Chiquita without Brass.
In June 1975 the band was competing in the Swedish music chart Svensktoppen where they were competing with their song Nu är du här igen, but was placed 10th and the next round they were kicked out from the chart.[1]
In the years 1977-1979 the band changed to disco style, but when new singer Benny came to the band in late 1981 the band changed back to traditional dansband music.
In 1987 they were supported by Mariann Grammofon in Skara.
