Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992) is one of the most important tango composers in history. Surprisingly, he spent much of his childhood in New York. In 1937 Piazzolla returns to his native Argentina. There he focuses on a career as a classical pianist while playing the accordion in tango cabarets in the evenings. From 1955 he works on his own compositions that interweave these two influences into an
… innovative sound, the "neuvo tango". At the wedding of Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and Máxima Zorreguieta, Carel Kraayenhof made a good impression with Piazzolla’s composition Adios Noniño. Piazzolla died in 1992.more
