Arabesque was founded 1977 in Frankfurt Main. Disco and the so called „Munich Sound“ spread around the globe with bands like Boney M., Dschinghis Khan, Baccara and similar that appeared on the tops of charts world wide.

Original founder member was Michaela Rose after she won in a singer’s competition. She has been surrounded by two more female singers and so they recorded the first songs. The first single release was “Hello Mister Monkey” that immediately jumped into the Japanese charts, national and international both. The song stood there for 38 weeks and was several weeks at the Number One Spot. They topped even Paul McCartney and have been on the same level like ABBA these days. You can easily check this by the fact that a collector’s box has been released including all albums of ABBA and Arabesque. Meanwhile her colleagues became pregnant one by one and had to be replaced, Michaela was the only member that was in the group from the beginning until the end.

But the success of this girl band was not only located in Japan: all over other Asian countries, Russia, Egypt, Latin- and South America and of course in Europe the three young Ladies became very famous. „Marigot Bay“ was the biggest hit single in Germany and climbed the Top 10 (Peak: Number 8).

In the middle of the 80s the music slightly changed away from Disco sounds more into New Wave, Pop and Funk and so the band split 1985. Michaela Rose still was performing together with Jasmin in the project called Rouge. They released for example in Japan an album that was sung completely in Japanese language.

But Michaela was never only interested in singing. She appeared in several TV productions as actress, was interested in esoterically science, became a Reiki Master and got enormous skills in Numerology and Tarot. When in 2006 the demands for a come back of Arabesque went louder and louder, a new line up was created around Michaela Rose and since then the band tours with an immense success throughout Russia and the former USSR countries. Wherever they appear, they are warmly welcomed by fans that still admire them like Superstars. Russian TV sent a four headed camera team from Moscow to Frankfurt to shoot an exclusive home story about the band for a program that achieved an uncountable number of awards.
