• Группа Xandra основана в Голландии в 1978 году, а в следующем, 1979-м уже распалась, выпустив несколько синглов и этот одноименный поп-альбом. Солистка ансамбля Sandra Reemer, индонезийского происхождения, известная также как Barbara Alexandra Reemer (birth name) или просто Sandra. В 1972 году она пела песню "Als Het om de Liefde Gaat" в дуэте с Dries Holten. Так же она представляла Нидерланды на Евровидении в трех отдельных случаях, вместе с Корри Броккен для большинства выступлений, представляющих страну. После распада группы Xandra она продолжила свою сольную карьеру и до 1996 года записала пять альбомов. В начале 2012 года из рук редактора журнала "Para Vision" Сандре вручили премию и кубок "Духовный Вдохновитель 2012".

• Barbara Alexandra "Sandra" Reemer (born October 17, 1950 in Bandung, Indonesia) is a Dutch Indo singer of Dutch, Chinese extraction. She has represented the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest on three separate occasions, tying with Corry Brokken for most appearances representing the country.
In 1972, she sang the song "Als Het om de Liefde Gaat" in a duet with Dries Holten (she was credited as "Sandra," he was credited as "Andres"), receiving fourth place. In 1976, she performed solo credited under her real name, singing the song "The Party's Over," which made it to ninth place. In 1979, she was credited as "Xandra" and sang the song "Colorado," which placed twelfth. She later returned to the contest to sing backing vocals (uncredited) for the Dutch entry in 1983, "Sing Me A Song" performed by Bernadette.
