Astor Piazzolla: Chiquilin de Bachin for double bass and piano (arranged by Luis G. Pérez)

About the Composition

Chiquilín de Bachín» is a well-known tango song in the rhythm of a waltz composed by the Argentine musician Astor Piazzolla and the Uruguayan- Argentine poet Horacio Ferrer. It was played for the first time by Amelita Baltar.

The song was edited as side B of a single released by CBS in November 1969, with "Balada para un loco," by the same authors, as side A. The following month (December / 1969), RCA released a single with the same themes performed by Roberto Goyeneche and the Ástor Piazzolla Orchestra. Goyeneche's emotionally broken performance was henceforth associated with the theme.
