Making Tracks: Buenos Aires, Argentina

The vibrant South American city of Buenos Aires is the destination for this episode of Making Tracks. And Tiki Taane’s ‘Always On My Mind’ is the Kiwi song getting a Latin American reworking this week. We hear what Tiki’s classic low-fi love song sounds like in the hand of all-acoustic Argentinean surf band, Onda Vaga. While Onda Vaga work on the cover, Nick D dives head-first into Buenos Aires. He rides shotgun with ghetto superstar Pablo Lescano, goes clubbing with rappers Fauna, and commissions a remix of Sola Rosa song ‘Del Ray’ by producer Chancha Via Circuito. And - in his never-ending quest to promote Kiwi music to the world - Nick makes an appearance on one of the biggest local radio shows and gives away classic New Zealand music at the market. Of course, no trip to Buenos Aires would be complete without plenty of Tango, BBQ and dog-walking. The episode wraps up with Tiki’s surprise at the results of Onda Vaga’s version of ‘Always On My Mind’.
