"Adiós Nonino" was composed around 1959, when Astor was on a tour of Central America. Then he had the news of the sudden death of his father, don Vicente Piazzolla, who was called Nonino.
Just arrived from New York, returning from that tour, at a time of deep sadness, of financial difficulties –due to his trip to the North which had resulted a failure, as a failure also was his intent to impose jazz-tango on the public-, now his father's death was added, far away, in Argentina. Then he wrote "Adiós Nonino".
