Bert Kaempfert & His Orchestra play "Similau". Featured on their 1962 album "A Swingin' Safari". Nice combination of strings and chunky electric bass guitar. Love that retro album art work.
Check out the version by Bobby Darin.

I well remember Ricky Ricardo singing this at the Tropicana!

Nice version Bert But somehow when remodeled by a surf band with a great guitar player and power tenor sax it reaches a new level. Yeah!

This is one of the great sounds, the music and quality of the maestro himself.
There was only one BK..his music lives for ever.

Really nice.

Only one other composer's music made me feel the way this guy's music does. and that's Yani. Can you just imagine what Yani and Bert Kaempfert could have produced had they worked together?

@X0nnatan Google up the lyrics. I think you can find the meaning there in context. Similau, I think, is the name of the Spirit....

I love this, I always pictured approaching an oasis in the some north african desert.

It's a nice melody. But, what mean the word: Similau? Thank

@X0nnatan Sorry, don't know. I see there's a lot of internet chat asking the same thing.

I would put this song for a soundtrack of a Jodorowski0s movie. Maybe Tarantino. It just suits perfectly.
Lovely tune. Feels like western =)
