There have been at least 6 groups, and at least one solo artist, existing under the name ‘Carmen’.
1) A unique English-American band, Carmen combined flamenco music with progressive rock. Adding to their distinctiveness was the fact that during long instrumental passages, members of the band would dance onstage, adding those sounds to the instrumental mix.
Carmen consists of:
David Allen (vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards) who wrote most of the music of Carmen
Roberto Amaral (vocals, vibes, chimes, other percussion) who also wrote several songs and danced with Angela Allen in the flamenco style.
Angela Allen (vocals, piano, mellotron, synthesizer), David Allen’s sister, who performed on a special stage together with Roberto during Carmen concerts to amplify the sound of the flamenco dancing.
John Glascock (bass, vocals) joined Jethro Tull after Carmen and played with them for four years (1975-1979). he died at the age of 28.
Paul Fenton (drums)
Carmen’s sound was focused on up-beat flamenco guitar with a strong rhythm section and subtle keyboards.
Records:
Fandangos in space - 1974
Dancing on a cold wind - 1975
The Gypsies - 1976
2) A melodic rock band, formed in Cheltenham, England in 2004. Their songs range in dynamic from heavy to gentle, incorporating distorted guitars, strings, synthesisers and layered vocal lines. Their debut album, ‘Angels And Dust’ is released 30th June 2008 on the Casket label. Official site.

@purpleumbrella: Then fix your tags and don't put the title of the opera in the artist field. Put the opera company, singer, or composer (Georges Bizet)

David Allen is back at long last with a new band, Widescreen - this along with Carmen's third albuum 'The Gypsies' was released earlier this year by Angel Air in the UK as a double CD. And I agree with the earlier comment, 'Fandangoes' is one of the best albums ever - eaily my most played vinyl and it is great to now have it on CD as well.
