German disco group formed and managed by Ralph Siegel to compete in the 1979 Eurovision Song Contest, where they placed fourth. Their songs were themed on historical figures and exotic cultures and locales. The group disbanded and reunited several times in different line-ups and with different names, including from 2018 to 2019, there were two line-ups at the same time: classic and new. After 2019, the group is represented only by new line-up of musicians.
