Neither AllMusic, nor Discogs, nor RYM know of an official release that includes this song. So, it may be some unofficial Internet-only release and in that case finding out the exact release year will be very difficult.

Yes, there several different videos of it, plus there are sites with the lyrics to it as the Gipsy Kings.Nassim wrote:Are you sure it's really them?

Are the Kings actually in any of the videos?

Neither Shazam nor the google song recognition tool could find anything.

This feels like a slightly different (karaoke) version, but came up when I ran Shazam...
