Sandra and Andres was a successful Dutch-Indonesian pop duo consisting of Sandra Reemer and Andres Holten. As a duo they had nearly thirty singles released.
In 1967 / 1968, their single "Storybook children" bw "Just a minute" was released on the Philips label. [1]
In 1972 they represented the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest with their song "Als het om de liefde gaat", [2] which Holten co-wrote the song with Hans van Hemert. [3] They ended up in 4th place.
In the November 9, 1974 issue of Billboard , it was announced that they were to break up. The reason given was that Holten wanted to pursue a career confined to songwriting while Reemer was to carry on as a solo singer. The magazine also said that she was to represent the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 1975. This did not materialize, as the group Teach-In represented Netherlands that year, but she instead represented Netherlands in 1976. [4]
Their final single "Oh, Nous Sommes Tres Amoureux" bw "I Can't Forget" was released in 1975. [5]
In 1975, Holten teamed up with Rosy Pereira as part of the duo Rosy & Andres and would have hits with "Sausalito, [6] [7] a tune that Holten had composed with Marshal Manengkei, [8] and later with "My Love". [9]
