In 1975, Hoola Bandoola Band broke up and most of the members went on to pursue solo careers. Wiehe formed Kabaréorkestern, a mellow and jazzy constellation including former Hoola Bandoola Band members Arne Frank and Ove Kellgren. The first album was titled Sjömansvisor (sailor songs) and was released in 1978. The most well-known song from this album was "Titanic," probably Wiehe's most famous song ever. Known for his commitment to Latin America, he then toured Cuba with Afzelius and Ulf Dageby in 1979 before releasing the second and last album with Kabaréorkestern, Elden är Lös, on his own label Amalthea. This was followed by the more direct Kråksånger in 1981, containing the hit "Flickan Och Kråkan" and widely considered Wiehe's best solo album, followed by De Ensligas Allé, containing synth versions of Dylan songs.
