Carmen was a British-American band active from 1970--1975. Their style was a fusion of rock music and flamenco music and dance. While the band achieved some success in recording and performance, its greatest significance lies in later contributions of its members to relatively famous rock groups. In London, they became friendly with several rock stars of the time, including David Bowie. Marc Bolan, and Bryan Ferry. Obtaining the services of uber-producer Tony Visconti, released three albums: Fandangos in Space 1973, Dancing on a Cold Wind 1974. and The Gypsies (album) 1975. David Allen (g,vo) Roberto Amaral(vo,footwork) Angela Allen (vo,footwork,kb) John Glascock (b,vo) Paul Fenton (dr,vo) "You might say I was a fanatic, 30 years ago (ouch). I first saw Carmen on the David Bowie Midnight Special (which has only been repeated once, as far as I know) and was stopped right in my tracks. I totally fell in love with their sound and look. At the time I called their music "Flamenco rock on acid". www.fandangosinspace.com
