The Kar-men group was one of the most popular Soviet, Russian musical groups in the early and mid-nineties. It became a cult trend in music and dance of that time. The group was founded in 1989 by Sergei Lemokh and Bogdan Titomir. But a year later the team broke up. Titomir went into solo work. However, the musical project did not cease to exist. The soloist of the group "Carmen" and songwriter Lemokh continued his creative activity.

But he also has a musical education: 7 classes of school and 4 years of a jazz studio. The future lead singer of the Carmen group began his career in show business in 1981. He played keyboards and sang in restaurants, worked as a DJ. A little later, he got into the composition of the musicians, first to Dmitry Malikov, and then to Vladimir M altsev, for whom he wrote the song "Paris, Paris". Subsequently, with thiscompositions and the history of the Kar-men group began.
Nineties
The first album of the project turned out to be unusual: the songs told about different countries and cities. The name of the disc was given the corresponding one - "Around the World". The next album - "Kar-Mania" - was released without the participation of Bogdan Titomir.
Since 1991, the peak of the project's popularity began. The Kar-men group won first places in various competitions and became the owner of the Ovation award. In the same year, Sergei Lemokh wrote several songs for Natalia Gulkina, which received great popularity.
The third album of "Kar-men" was a collection of the best songs, consisting of remixes of old themes and several new compositions. In 1993, the group actively toured Russia. The soloist "Carmen" starred in several commercials, took part in the television game "Marathon-15", and also made a soundtrack for the domestic cartoon "Captain Pronin".
The following year, the group released two discs at once: “Russian Massive Sound Aggression” and “Live…”. It is noteworthy that all the songs for them were written by Lemokh himself, and most of them occupied the top lines in the music charts. After that, the group went into a creative lull.
The next album was released only in 1996. It consisted mainly of slow songs and was called "Your Sexy Thing". In the same year, the group went on tour to Germany and the USA, and also took part in international festivals.
In 1997, the group performed on the television show Surprisefrom Pugacheva”, presenting a remix of her composition “Robinson”. Also, this period of time is notable for the release of Lemokh's solo album, Polaris.
Further, the group released an album with disco music - "The King of the Disc". And in 1999, an album was released containing remixes of the first hits - "Back to the Future".

The project continues to live, new songs are heard and concerts are held in nightclubs. The soloist of the group "Carmen" keeps up with the times, he releases fresh and fashionable material. Of course, there is no such popularity as before, but the audience is happy to meet him at concerts that take place several times a month.

Private life
The soloist of the group "Carmen" was married twice. The first marriage ended in divorce. The fame that came to the artist divided the spouses. But Lemokh and ex-wife Natalya maintained friendly relations. They have two children: Alice and Lyudmila. The musician fails to pay due attention to his daughters due to a busy work schedule. Sergei's second wife, Ekaterina, is a member of the Kar-men group.
