Did you know that May is NZ Music Month? The perfect opportunity to showcase great Kiwi music that we all know and love. Perfect for chilling at home, partying with friends, having a BBQ or enjoying a summer road trip around Spain! You can always count on heaps of Kiwi hits to get you pumped.
Who would be on your Kiwi Playlist?
Earlier this month Zoe asked the Kiwis about their favourite Kiwi songs, for NZ music month. Zoe was able to find out from six of us and Kent made our first Kiwis in Spain Spotify playlist. Including 50 songs for our 2023 Kiwis in Spain Music Month playlist. Over three hours of Kiwi music for you all to enjoy.
That’s a wrap on NZ Music Month!
The celebration of Kiwi music doesn’t end here though. Here is our ULTIMATE KIWI PLAYLIST featuring your favourite throwbacks, songs all Kiwis should, your unexpected favourites and many more!
