About this Episode of Making Tracks

Trinidad can rightfully claim to be one of the most musical places on the planet. The rhythms of the capital city (Port of Spain) evolved from the yearly Carnival, which almost every citizen is involved with in some way. Nestled in the heart of the Caribbean, Trinidad has an ethnically diverse population which has helped spawn a diverse style of music called Soca. While visiting Port of Spain, Nick meets some of the biggest names in the Soca business, many of whom are making it big on the world stage. Trinidad is also the birthplace of the steel pan instrument - and this week's Kiwi cover song is performed by a 30-piece steel pan orchestra called Phase II Pan Groove. We couldn’t think of a better song to give Phase II than Supergroove's classic party anthem 'Can't Get Enough'. We think you’ll agree that the results are something to behold. And, of course, we see what members of Supergroove think of the wacky new version of their song.
