The Legacy of Sparks

The American musical duo Sparks, consisting of brothers Ron-Mael and Russell-Mael, has remained one of the most enduring and innovative acts in the history of Pop-Music. Formed in Los-Angeles in 1972, the band is celebrated for their theatricality, wit, and stylistic fluidity. Over their long career, they have explored a wide range of genres, most notably Glam-Rock, Art-Pop, and Synth-pop.
