Dschinghis Khan (Genghis Khan) - Hadschi Halef Omar video free download

Dschinghis Khan was a West German pop band, created in 1979 to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest.The name of the band was chosen to fit the song of the same name, written and produced by Ralph Siegel with lyrics by Bernd Meinunger.

The band's song "Moscow" was a big hit in Australia in 1980, staying at number 1 for five weeks. The song was used as the theme music for the Channel 7 coverage of the Olympic games held in Moscow the same year.

While the group broke up in the mid-1980s, the German video for "Moskau" was a part of the show Disco on ZDF; as was their similarly-staged number "Dschinghis Khan."

The original members of the group were Louis Hendrik Potgieter, Steve Bender, Leslie Mándoki, Edina Pop and the husband and wife pair Wolfgang and Henriette Heichel.

The group re-formed in late 2005 performing at the Olympiyski Arena in Moscow on December 17, 2005.

The band toured in 2006--2007 with singer/dancer group The Legacy of Dschinghis Khan and released the CD "7 Leben" (7 Lives). It was the band's first release since 2004's "Best of" compilation Jubilee.
