Song history

---

"Buenos Aires" was initially scheduled as the final commercial release from the soundtrack but delays lead to the decision to promote the song and its new remixes only to clubs and radio shortly before the film was released on home video.

In August 1996, while Madonna was pregnant with her daughter, she recorded new vocals for the dance remix of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina." Madonna's long-time back-up singers, Donna DeLory and Niki Haris were also on hand to help out. Their vocals from that recording session are also featured on the "Buenos Aires" remixes as well. The remixes of the song were done by Pablo Flores and Javier Garza, who are well known for remixing many of Gloria Estefan's songs.

Chart performance

---

Since the song was not released commercially it was not eligible to chart on mainstream charts but was eligible on airplay and dance charts. The song and its remixes were not really radio friendly, but did manage to make an impact on the U.S. Billboard dance charts, charting in the top ten on the Hot Dance/Club Play Chart. "Buenos Aires" spent eleven weeks on the dance chart.
