Sahara

Progressive rock band of the early/mid 1970s Krautrock era, formerly known as [a2690228] and [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/945091]Subject Esq.[/url].
The band formed from its predecessor in early 1973, after the band changed its label from Epic to PAN (2), a sublabel of Ariola.
The band recorded several albums, and in late 1974 one part of the lineup became the first accompanying band of Peter Maffay, mainly driven by interest of Maffay in bassist [a656355].
In 1977, they disbanded.
By chance, two former members of the band, [a524672] and [a289605] met while shopping in a supermarket, which eventally led to a reunion of the band in 2006, almost in same lineup as at formation. This reunited band lasted until October, 2019.

[a289605] (Hammond M3, Fender Rhodes, Moog Synthesizer, Korg T3)
