The more we're nearing the completion of David Fincher's "Complete Music Video Works" the harder it gets -- or so it seems:
The "Bamboleo" video for french rumba catalan band GIPSY KINGS saw a total of three produced clips; two of which were directed by David Fincher. And finally I dug one up that looks authentic ...
From the information I could gather about David's videography, he directed versions 2 and 3 of this; the later one called "Rockamerica Remix". Until now I had been unable to find a video that was titled accordingly, let alone contained any information about the director.
Following the links below, now there's a video tagged "Version 2" (ifilm.com) and to my eye it does look like Fincher had shot and edited that. Further, the band hosts an official youtube-channel with about 40 videos, one of these being some "Bamboleo" version that could also possibly be Fincher's work.
I will try to establish a contact with the band or record label to get more info and possibly both versions of David's works.
As for now, enjoy these:

and according with the book "David Fincher: Interviews (Conversations with Filmmakers Series)" Fincher only directed the 1989 version.
