1) Arabesque was a famous German disco music group formed in 1977, consisting of Sandra Cretu (joined the group in 1979), Jasmin Vetter, and Michaela Rose. After a split in 1984 Jasmin Vetter and Michaela Rose continued as the group "Rouge", while Sandra Cretu started her career in the group Sandra with Michael Cretu.
Arabesque was popular in Japan, selling more than 6 million albums there. They also had success in the USSR. In 1980 the single "Take Me Don't Break Me" became a hit, which only scraped the German Top 40. Their next single, "Marigot Bay", would become their single Top Ten hit a few weeks later. Their last singles "Ecstasy" and "Time to Say Goodbye", turned hits after their split, on various central, south and east European countries, because they sounded very close to the "Italo-disco" sound, a very popular music genre of the European Discotheques at that time. Those songs spread and gained success through LP compilations of dance/pop music and bootleg tapes, so the group never could take advantage of this success neither those songs turn on any kind of charts as "singles". That was a common problem for many '80s European artists. The last Arabesque singles introduced the "Italo-disco" sound to Japan, under the term "eurobeat", previously used in the UK for the Stock Aitken Waterman productions. That soon lead to Japan's Super Eurobeat music style.
On December 16, 2006 Arabesque (featuring Michaela Rose and two new members Sabine Kaemper and Silke Brauner) headlined the second Retro FM festival in Moscow.
2) "One of hip hop’s most talked about artists, Besque continues to intrigue Music’s biggest names. Signing with UK based label Sin Nombre with distro via Universal, “The Frenzy Of Renown” was released with glowing reviews. He was nominated Rap Recording of the Year at the 2007 Juno Awards, hosted by Nelly Furtado. International press in various publications, also landing him in a meet and greet with The Source Magazine staff in New York. Fall of 2007 Arabesque graced his first cover of an international magazine with NOX, the leading and most admired English speaking Mid East publication. A slew of global 12 inch singles with a wide-reach across campus radio charts. As well earning himself sponsorship’s from L-R-G and Scifen Clothing. Arabesque has opened up for artists such as Wu-tang's Raekwon, Little Brother, Zion I, Dilated Peoples and Sean Paul."

3) Arabesque is a Dutch powerhouse trio from the mid nineties.
They produce an interesting music pure mixture of rock, fusion and progressive elements.
But they has two female singers in his second album "The Union" (2002), very different from his debut album, "Beyond the veil", 8 years before. Though could be qualified as prog-metal is easier to listen to than other bands if you're not into that music style. A "lighter" Dream Theater...?
6) Arabesque were a Pittsburgh area progressive rock band that began in 1973. They have one archival CD on Shroom Records containing recordings from 1976-1979.

Hallo zusammen! Привет всем! Хорошая группа и песня тоже :-))) ! Помню у отца на бобинном магнитофоне такая песня тоже была! Слова хоть сейчас прочитал и перевёл! Deutschland und Russland - sind gute Freunde!
А магнитфон этот, чуть не забыл, назывался - "Днiпро"! Не шутка. Друзья, уже в школе, когда в гости приходили, то говорили: - "Ну включай свой "ДнепроГЭС"!))) Большой был аппарат, в полированном дереве.

"Занзибар"
Если тебе надо немного отдохнуть,
Мой лучший совет тебе —
Сесть на самолет и стать моим гостем.
Занзибар (Занзибар)
Занзибар (Занзибар) —
Это недалеко.
Мы будем одни.
Там не будет телефона.
Я сделаю так, что ты почувствуешь себя как дома.
Занзибар (Занзибар)
Занзибар (Занзибар) —
Это недалеко.
Эй, приезжай на Занзибар,
Славный Занзибар.
Если ты знаешь, ты найдешь
То, о чем думаешь,
На Занзибаре.
Не говори никому, где ты.
И это не очень далеко.
Я буду ждать тебя на Занзибаре,
Занзибаре.
На моем солнечном острове
Люди ходят, а не бегают
Но они много веселятся.
Занзибар (Занзибар)
Занзибар (Занзибар) —
Это недалеко.
Малыш, ты останешься
Или вернешься в какой-нибудь другой день.
Ты полюбишь его в любом случае.
Занзибар (Занзибар)
Занзибар (Занзибар) —
Это недалеко.
Эй, приезжай на Занзибар,
Милый Занзибар.

Не говори никому, где ты.
И это не очень далеко.

Какое было счастье, когда в 85-м, в прошлом веке, купила их пластинку! Замечательная танцевальная мелодия.)
И ностальгия сейчас.
@haaslife
Слушал тогда и не понимал где вообще тот Занзибар. А теперь слушаю эту песню в Нунгви, на этом самом Занзибаре.
@Veronica-tx6tx
I am 14 years old, but I love old music! It has a certain charm making me listen over and over again.😣😍

Блин, люди, мое детство пришлось на 90-е, но почему и я слушаю ЭТОТ ШЕДЕВР с таким удовольствием?
@staceyspb9526
потому что Занзибар одно из доступных мест для посещения в карантинные времена?
@hispanofila
Моё детство пришлось на конец 90х, начало 2000, и тоже эту песню я обожала! Как и многие другие хиты 60, 70, 80 годов!
@Freddy22803
Потому что сделано с истинно немецким качеством мелодии, аранжировки и записи - поэтому и воспринимается так же, как и добротно сработанный "Мерседес" 40-летней давности.
