The main vocalist of Sandra after the group disbanded, he continued a successful solo career (in the 1990-ies was also involved in the Enigma project). The group "Arabesque" was created in 1977. The group Arabesque was volatile and in the beginning of existence was changed several times. Arabesque was popular in Japan once in 1978 at MIDEM fair in Cannes, they drew the attention of the Japanese record company "Jhinko Music". In Europe, including his native Germany, before the release of the single "Marigot Bay" in 1980, the group could not boast of a "mad" success. After that, they gained some fame, but to "Japanese" level and have not risen: of the nine albums released in Japan, in Germany, there was only four. Fifth album Arabesque met in the status of the superstars, their records sold millions of copies.
