Caféïne biography
Founded in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, France in 1990

CAFEINE plays Prog with strong 70's influences. The standard Prog line-up is augmented with flute, violin and bassoon. CAFEINE will appeal to fans of European Prog with influences from French 70's Symphonic Prog.

The first album in 1994, "La Citadelle", is a large and varied palette of influences: from medieval music to Jazz-Rock, through progressive Rock and French Folk along the way. The "Nouveaux Mondes" (Meaning "New Worlds") relate to various aspects: air to matter, history or love, and even Man conquering space.
