@TurboDally did you ever find the Police Academy version. I have beed trying for the longest time and sifted through many many other wonderful versions....but nuthin'
I asked so many people in MY country AND outside Europe - NO ONE EVER COULD ANSWER ME WHEN I ASKED 'EM "Do you got the ORIGINAL Police Academy Version of 'El Bimbo'?" - NOONE!!!
paul mauriat's version is just a copy .. this song is originally composed by ahmad zahir, an afghan singer. the name of the afghan version is ''tanha shodam tanha''
search for the french new era films from 50s and you will find one about a car thief .. ahmad zahir most likely copied it from dat movie in 70s as he was very found of da frnch new era concept look at his fotos its so fucken obvious .. i love ahmad zahir but he didnt compose dis music .. he didnt compose most of his songs .. and dere are many songs he copied
This song was composed by Ahmad Zahir in 1971 for his album Laily. In 1974 Bimbo Jet a French Band copied this song titled El Bimbo. El Bimbo toped charts all over the western countries and thats how Bimbo Jet band got world famous with the hard work of Ahmad Zahir. To see for urself u can google it, wikipedia it or whatever.
@KingEhsanjan I beg to differ, paul is a cover artist but it WASN'T composed by ahmed....he did a cover...its originally Jet El Bimbo a french hit. Pls do your research properly.

This is a different recording from the movie music. Sounds like an overture done with various bits from the movie.

Its not original. As I could see.
Here is rythm like pasadoble... there was tangoish in movie. Drum section is different.

If you wonder what language they are talking on in the song, then I can tell you that it is Swedish.

The original is by Afghan singer Ahmad Zahir, who released his version in 1971. Paul Mauriat used the instrumental for the movie.
