Biography. Sergey Lemokh What happened to the Carmen group

"Kar-Man" is a Russian musical group that worked in a genre, the name of which was invented by the musicians themselves - exotic pop. The star and brightly flashed in the early 90s. Now each of the soloists is known for the most part to lovers of club life.

Compound

The idea to unite in one team was given to Sergey and Bogdan by the composer. He also became the first producer of musicians. The members of "Kar-Man" did not suddenly start appearing on stage, before that they had worked with Vladimir Maltsev: Titomir was a bass player, Lemokh played keyboards. For Vladimir, they wrote the song "Paris", which was later included in the first album.

The official date of formation of the group is January 1990. Stylish and fashionable guys performing dance hits with a bomb pitch became the first male duet on the musical Olympus of new Russia. The musical direction professed by them quickly gained popularity, in some sources referred to as the "club of travelers", in others - exotic pop. At first, the group was called that - "Exotic Pop Duet", then "Carmen" followed.

Later, according to Lemokh, the guys went on about the fans and changed the name, dissociating themselves from analogies with the loving Spanish beauty. As Sergey later said, the phrase "Kar-Man" contains a reference to the American concept "CarMan", which means "a person of roads, a traveler" or "a truck driver".

For less than two years, Kar-Man, as they say, collected stadiums, won the first domestic hit parades, cassettes with songs scattered with a bang. Uncomplicated, but incendiary songs performed by brutal guys with creative haircuts and in the original "outfit" were heard not only by the audience of concert venues in Russia, but also abroad. The team collected a bouquet of awards and titles: "Opening" and "Group of the Year", "Ovation", "Hit of the Year", "Star Rain".

The group at different times included the colorful Cuban Mario Francisco Diaz, the dark-skinned actress Diana Rubanova, Marina Kabaskova and Sergey Kolkov performed on backing vocals.

At the peak of popularity, Bogdan Titomir left the team. According to numerous sources on the Web, the split occurred due to the fact that the participants, being strong personalities, began to pull the blanket over themselves. Conflicts began. Moreover, as Titomir later claimed, the group stopped developing, and he allegedly offered to write other music, but did not meet with understanding from Sergey.

There is also a version that the record label Gala Records offered the guys a contract for ten years, but supposedly Bogdan did not want to bind himself with such long-term obligations.

Music

The first album "Kar-Man", in full accordance with the "style of travelers", was called "Around the World". It included hits, the titles of which mentioned one or another geographical name: “London, goodbye”, “Delhi”, “My girl from America”.

The second disc of Carmania, the material for which the soloists prepared together, was released by Sergey alone, re-recording the vocal parts. After Titomir left, the Kar-Man brand went to Lemokh, he updated the line-up, composed the words and music himself, and was still a success. Although on the forums, fans of the group noticed that in some places Bogdan's backing vocals are still heard.

The compositions from the new album continued the "geographical" theme: "Filipino Witch", "San Francisco", "Caribbean Girl", "Bombay Boogie". A clip was shot for the title theme "Bad Russians".

In fan online communities, the situation with the next Kar-Man album called "Diesel Fog" was discussed. Some fans claim that the disc was released in 1993, the edition was printed at the Soyuz studio, but was withdrawn from sale due to copyright problems.

A small number still managed to sell, and now this cassette is a longed-for dream of fans. Allegedly later, the album was reworked and released at the Gala studio, but already under the name "Russian Massive Sound Aggression" (RMZA).

There were also those who believe that "Diesel Fog" is a product of piracy, and the songs "Killer Robinson" and "Dancing in Miami" mentioned in the album never existed.

The musicians themselves call RMZA, which has been reissued twice over the years, without false modesty, “the first and only album in the CIS in the style of “classic” techno.”

In 1994, the group pleased the audience with the live album "Live ...". It includes already known songs and instrumental compositions. In addition, “Chao, Bambino!”, “Angel of Love” sounded for the first time. Sergey made a dance version of the famous hit "Hotel California" by the equally popular Eagles group.

In the period from 1994 to 1996, Kar-Man fell out of the sight of music lovers. According to music portals, the group worked out a contract in Germany. The result was the English-language album This is Car-Man. Lemokh noted that it makes sense to release a musical product outside Russia only when he is sure that the inhabitants of the country where the album is being written will listen to the songs. The approach to music abroad is different from the domestic one. In addition, in the homeland of Sergei, everything suited in terms of quality, but the conditions for recording "there are many times better."

For the five-year anniversary, the group timed the long-awaited disc "Your Sexual Thing", in which slow songs prevailed. "Southern Shaolin" was accompanied by a music video.

The album "King of the Disc" in 1998 was released in three versions: the usual, the so-called gift with a booklet and licensed from the company "JERY". A video was shot for the title track "Dance Disco". A year later, fans received the Back to the Future remix album.

In 2001, Lemokh organized an annual show tour around the country "Kar-Man" - 10 years. Before that, a series of discs called "Legends of Russian Disco" was released.

To the remarks where the group disappeared, Sergey replied that the lack of performances in popular places and shows on TV does not mean at all that Kar-Man ceased to exist. In an interview, the musician called the Slava cultural center the main venue for concerts, spoke about job offers in Canada and Germany.

In 2002, Kar-Man, together with the Music Hammer production center, announced the start of work on a kind of tribute to the group's songs. Club groups of alternative and underground directions were offered to make covers of famous hits. However, how the project called "Car-Mania: AlterNative edition" ended is unknown.

The next novelty of the musicians "Kar-Man" boasted after a long 8 years, it was the album "Nitro". The latest remix album "Ultrazvuk" and video "Baby" feat City Zen & D.J. Jump were released in 2014.

Kar-Man group now

In the new millennium, the songs of "Kar-Man" are already being listened to by the children of those who made up the first army of the group's fans. Forever young, in good physical shape, Sergei Lemokh is still in demand as a musician. There are a lot of photos on Instagram according to the hashtag with his last name, the authors of which consider it good luck to capture themselves next to the lead singer of the legendary group.

Judging by the official site of "Kar-Man", the team works in the format of "orders" - gives concerts at corporate events, in restaurants and nightclubs. They sound good old hits and new remixes.

In July 2018, as part of the Golden Hit program, Kar-Man will perform at the international art festival Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk. "Kar-Man" cooperates with DJs Filatov & Karas, the tracks "You you you" and "Bullet" became the result of such a collaboration.

Founded in 1989 group "Carmen" gained popularity at such a pace that in a few months the whole country knew this name. It was the first male duet in the USSR that performed its own songs and prepared a choreographic performance for each of them. Sergei Lemokh and Bogdan Titomir became the idols of hundreds of thousands of listeners, but already in the spring of 1991 the duo broke up, and each of the performers took up a solo career. There were several versions about the reasons for the disagreement.

Sergei Lemokh and Bogdan Titomir in the late 1980s worked as backup dancers for singer Vladimir Maltsev. It was he who first performed the song “Paris, Paris” written by Lemokh, which soon became the hallmark of the Carmen group. The Exotic Pop duo began their performances with this name, and in 1990 changed it to Kar-Man (Man-Machine) - in this way they "went to meet the wishes of the listeners, obscuring the initial reminder of the insidious Spanish rival of today's young seductresses.

The performers themselves interpreted the name of the group as "driver" or "traveler", which corresponded to the concept of the project: the first album was called "Around the World", and each song was dedicated to a particular country or city. Later, Sergei Lemokh spoke about the motives for choosing such a name: “I don’t know what legends there can be, our team is named after a trucker,“ a man of roads, ”and“ CarMan ”is an American slang name for a trucker.”

Their popularity was gaining incredible momentum, six months after the founding of the group, it collected stadiums across the country, cassettes with pirated recordings were bought up like hot cakes, and then rewritten on home tape recorders. In 1990, the newspaper "Moskovsky Komsomolets" conducted a poll, according to which the Kar-Man group became the winner in two categories: "Discovery of the Year" and "Group of the Year". In the same year, the group received the Schlager-90 award, and in 1991 they earned several more awards: 50x50, Star Rain and Ovation.

In 1991, Bogdan Titomir unexpectedly left the project and took up solo activities. As it turned out, the record company Gala Records offered the Kar-Man group a contract with serious obligations for 10 years ahead, which Lemokh signed, but Titomir refused to sign. The second album called "Kar-Mania" was released without the participation of Titomir.

Later, Titomir admitted that in the last months of the group's existence, he did not communicate with Lemokh at all, they even came to concerts in different cars, and then decided to stop their joint activities altogether. Titomir believes that this happened because of different views on music: Lemokh wanted to make the second album similar to the first, and he already wrote other songs that he soon presented in solo performance - “Do as I do”, “Kaif” and “ Nonsense". Sergei Minaev said: “Lemokh was much more interesting and musical, but Bogdan felt better the fashion and the whole conjuncture.” They also said that the reason for the collapse was that both performers were real leaders, and each of them in the team wanted to be in the first roles. For the last 20 years, Bogdan Titomir and Sergei Lemokh have not seen each other or communicate.

Sergey Lemokh continued to perform under the Kar-Man brand, with which he tours to this day. In addition, he recorded the soundtrack for the animated series "Captain Pronin", created musical screensavers for television programs, worked as a composer with other artists (Natalya Senchukova, Lada Dance, Natalya Gulkina).

The fact that the Kar-Man group is still gathering halls, Lemokh explains with his music that does not lose its relevance: “A mixed audience goes to us: both adults who remember the 1990s, and young people who know what we are doing in electro »; as well as his own image: “A pop artist must take care of himself, because the stage and pop music in particular sells sex. For a man, these are regular classes in the gym, physical activity, healthy sleep, a healthy lifestyle, I will not reveal anything new to you. People in Russia after 40 for some reason stop taking care of themselves, in vain, but the West has recently had a very beneficial effect on us in this regard.

In the late 1980s - early 1990s. was no less popular.

Popular and without false modesty, a unique, extraordinary exotic pop duet "Kar-man", which in English means "man-machine" formed in 1989, it was first conceived by Sergei Lemokh (real name Ogurtsov) and Andrei Grozny (producer of the group Brilliant , MF-3), but circumstances changed after the meeting between Sergei Lemokh and Bogdan Titomir. Sergey changed all his plans regarding the creation of a new musical project, which later will be called the exotic pop duet "Kar-Man", namely, he decided to create a male duet together with Bogdan Titomir, and all the themes of the songs that they jointly wrote in at that time were really exotic content: about countries, continents, cities.

This was the first male duet in the USSR, moreover, a duet that not only performed their songs, but also had a whole choreographic dance performance for each of the songs. In a word, the guys simply lit the hearts of many fans of fashionable dance music in Russia, and their popularity grew exponentially.
So it was until 1991: there were tours, concerts, incredible popularity.

And in 1991, the record company "Gala Records" offered a contract with huge obligations from the duet members for 10 years ahead, which Bogdan Titomir refused to sign, and Sergey signed. This ended the history of the duet and the history of the group "Kar-Man" began. It should be noted that the reason for the collapse can be considered not only this fact, but also the fact that Titomir and Lemokh were real leaders and each of them in the team wanted to be in the first roles.

The guys decided to part mutually on this. Bogdan began his solo career with the now well-known hit of the 90s "Do as I do", and Sergey continued to work with the Kar-Man group.
A little more background at first Sergey Lemokh and Bogdan Titomir worked as a backup dancer for Vladimir Maltsev, for whom they wrote their first song, then the exotic pop duet "Kar-Man" - Paris, Paris, later simply "Paris" (lyrics and the music was written by Sergey Ogurtsov i.e. Lemokh) in the context of the first album "Kar-Man" under the romantic name "Around the World"

Here's what they looked like in the 90s:

Sergey Lemokh did all the choreography, image and almost all the music and words, which he continued to do without Bogdan, in which, by the way, he recruited a group of dancers, and one girl, a soloist and dancer, who later became his wife.
Further, the history of the Kar-Man group does not end and to this day they exist, here is their latest work, it is clearly noticeable that Sergey is rather tired:

Full discography of Kar-Man:

1. Around the World (magnetic album - Gala 1990) (Gala/Sintez, 1991 - vinyl, reissued on CD and MC by Gala Records in 1994)
2. Carmania (Gala Records, 1991 - magnetic album, 1992 - vinyl, reissued on CD and MC in 1994)
3. Russian massive sonic aggression (J.S.P., 1994; 1997; 2004)
4. Polaris (1995)
5. Your Sexy Thing (Zeko, 1996)
6. Disc King (J.S.P., 1998; 2003)

I would like to say that the joint work of Sergei and Bogdan certainly impresses much more than all their work taken separately. But rumors know that Bogdan even offered Sergei to create a joint project, but Sergei categorically refused.
Now Sergey Lemokh (Sergey Ogurtsov) is still trying to promote Kar-Men, the music, to be honest, is very different from what it was in the early 90s. It is listened to with difficulty stuffed with glamorous modern musical effects, but unfortunately you will not find the very music that Sergey wrote there.
Although, everyone will decide what he likes. Here is the official page

STEP ONE

In the town square in Seville, near the cigar factory, there is a guard post. Soldiers, street boys, cigar factory workers with their lovers flicker in the lively crowd. Carmen appears.

In a fit of anger, he stabs Carmen to death. By death, she asserts her freedom.

CARMEN

CARMEN (fr. Carmen) - the heroine of P. Merimee's short story "Carmen" (1845), a young Spanish gypsy. The image of K. is formed in the reader's mind as a result of a difficult procedure of "overlaying" three images of the heroine. It is significant that all three narrators are men, each of whom, in his own way, participates in the “portraiting” of K. To the narrator-traveler, preoccupied with ethnographic research, K. “appears” on the Guadalquivir embankment. The young gypsy woman amazes the inquisitive and respectable philistine with her "strange, wild beauty" and extravagance of behavior. To the traveler, a creation of a foreign world is completely alien to him, a psychological curiosity, an ethnographic attraction. "The Devil's Minion" arouses interest in the French scientist, mixed with alienation and fear. The exposition of the image of the heroine is her portrait on the embankment, "in the gloomy light streaming from the stars" against the backdrop of a dark blue river. K. seems to be included in the system of natural phenomena to which it is akin. In the future, the narrator compares the gypsy with a wolf, then with a young Cordoba mare, then with a chameleon.

The second narrator, robber and smuggler José Navarro, paints a portrait of the heroine with "colors of love". Having confused Jose's soul, forcing him to change his soldier's oath, tearing the hero out of his natural environment, K. is portrayed to him as a sorceress, the devil himself, or simply a "pretty girl." But the irresistibly attractive, criminal and mysterious gypsy is essentially alien to her lover, just as to the traveler who did not observe her for long. The unpredictability of the heroine, the apparent illogicality of her behavior, and finally, her divination are seen by José as hostile manifestations of the gypsy way of life.

The third (and most important) narrator is the author. His voice emerges from the intricate counterpoint of the ethnographer and Don José, as well as whimsical compositional effects. However, his voice merges with the voices of two observable narrators, with whom the author develops a "conflict" relationship. The “scientific” interest of the traveler and the unreasonable, blind passion of the soldier are “commented” by the entire artistic structure of the novel in a romantic vein. Merimee creates for the heroine a kind of “scene on the stage”, where the character is subjected to a certain figurative doubling (and in our case even “triplementing”: the author - the narrator - José). This technique makes the image “stereoscopic” and at the same time serves to distance it from the reader. “Chance”, “everyday history”, the heroine of which turned out to be K., despite the brightness, relief of her characteristics, appear in a “legendary” lighting that removes everything subjective, individual. So the love story of a runaway soldier and a gypsy takes on a truly antique scale, without losing anything in psychological concreteness.

The image of K. given in the “triple perspective” is nevertheless perceived as tangible, alive. K. is not the most virtuous literary heroine. She is cruel, deceitful, unfaithful. “She lied, she always lied,” Jose complains. However, K.'s lie and her unpredictable antics, gloomy secrecy, have for the author (and, consequently, for the reader) not at all the meaning that her acquaintances give to the "negative" manifestations of the heroine. The symbolism of the image of K. is connected by many threads with the folklore and mythological complex, and not only Spanish. In the guise of a gypsy, almost everything turns out to be “meaningful”: a combination of colors in a suit, a white acacia, which was then presented to Jose. An attentive ethnographer and a sensitive artist, Merime definitely knew that red (the red skirt at the moment of the first meeting of the heroine with José) and white (shirt, stockings) in combination is endowed with a mystical meaning, linking blood and death torment with purification, the feminine principle - with life-giving passion . "Witch" and "devil", K. is still drawn to the imagination of poets and artists with an acacia flower, its indispensable attribute. This circumstance is also not accidental. The symbolism of the acacia in the esoteric tradition of the ancient Egyptians (remember that Merimee gives the legendary version of the Egyptian origin of the gypsies) and in Christian art expresses spirituality and immortality. The alchemical law "Hiram", symbolized by the acacia, says: "Everyone must know how to die in order to live in eternity."

There are numerous structural "floors" of the image of K. Its ancestral basis is undoubtedly associated with the image of the sorceress in Spanish folklore, primarily with the demonic figures of Lamia and Lilith, magically beautiful, but destructive for men seductresses. Particularly significant in K. is the theme of Lilith, the apocryphal first wife of Adam, who was in an inescapable conflict with the first man over equality on earth.

The demonic nature of K. can be interpreted in different ways. The artistic heroine, constantly changing her appearance (“a real chameleon”), is not averse to “trying on” the guise of the devil, thereby causing José's superstitious horror. However, apparently, the demonic beginning of the heroine is an emblem of the primordially natural, in conflict with the Christian civilization that has enslaved Nature. The vengeful, destructive activity of the "minion of the devil" (repeatedly interpreted by Russian philology as a social protest) is carried out on behalf of nameless, but essential forces, the personification of which are the gypsies. K.'s lie in this semantic complex is an expression of her unwillingness to be included in the system of rules offered to her by a regulated state machine, whose representative, by the way, is Jose the soldier at first. The conflict of lovers, which has a complex semantic structure for Merimee, is associated with the tragic discovery of the unthinkable harmony between society and nature, and at a higher level - with the eternal antagonism of male and female principles.

The theme of love is inseparable in the short story "Carmen" from the theme of death. The image of the heroine is perceived in the context of the interdependence of the concepts of femininity, love and death, which is so characteristic of Spanish culture and so essential to the European philosophical tradition.

José buries K. in the forest (“K. told me several times that she wanted to be buried in the forest”). In mythologies, the symbolism of the forest is associated with the expression of the feminine (as, indeed, night and water are images that accompany the heroine throughout the story about her). But the forest is a model of the world, not subject to human law, not controlled by the state.

Thus, all the themes of K. are “furnished” with archetypal motifs, testifying to the deep rootedness of the image in the world humanitarian tradition. One of the consequences of this circumstance was the very rapid adaptation of the image of K. in the socio-cultural space, the transformation of the heroine Merimee into the so-called. "eternal image", comparable in this capacity to Faust and Don Giovanni. Already in 1861, Théophile Gautier published the poem "Carmen", in which the gypsy appears as an expression of the boundless female power over the world of men, both infernal and natural.

In 1874, J. Bizet wrote the opera "Carmen" to the libretto by A. Melyak and L. Halevi, later recognized as one of the pinnacles of opera art. Apparently, it is Bizet's opera that is the first stage in the transformation of K. into a transcultural image. Strong, proud, passionate K. Bizet (mezzo-soprano) is a free interpretation of the literary source, quite far from the heroine Meri-me, whose love of freedom in passion is still not an exhaustive description of her. The collision of K. and Jose acquired warmth and lyricism in Bizet's music, having lost the essential insolubility that is fundamental for the writer. The librettists of the opera removed from the biography of K. a number of circumstances that reduce the image (for example, participation in the murder). A curious literary reminiscence in the image of opera K. deserves mention: the song “Old Husband, Formidable Husband” from A.S. Pushkin’s poem “Gypsies” (1824), translated by P. Merimee, among other works of the poet, is used in the libretto. In K. Bize, the meeting of the heroine Merimee with Pushkin's Zem-fira took place. The most famous performers of the part of K. are M.P. Maksakova (1923) and I.K. Ar-khipova (1956).

K. short stories and operas left a mark in poetry: A. Blok's cycle "Carmen" (1914), "Carmen" by M. Tsvetaeva (1917). To date, there are more than ten film incarnations of the image of K. The most famous are "Carmen" by Christian Jacques (1943) and "Carmen" by K. Saura (1983). The last film was created on the basis of the flamenco ballet by A. Gades.

The paradox of the artistic fate of K. lies in the fact that the opera heroine largely obscured the image of Merimee. Meanwhile, in the stage history of the opera, there is a steady tendency to “return” the image to the literary source: the performance by V.I. "The Tragedy of Carmen", 1984). The same trend is partly followed by the ballet "Carmen Suite" with M.M. Plisetskaya in the title role (musical transcription by R.K. Shchedrin, choreography by A. Alonso, 1967).

The image of K., like any cultural symbol, is used at various levels: high art, pop art, and even everyday behavior (the fashion for the “image of Carmen”).
