## Summary

Carel Kraayenhof was a Dutch-born musician who moved to Argentina in 1950, drawn to the country's musical culture. He played piano and accordion, and in Buenos Aires he formed a partnership with bandoneon player Astor Piazzolla. Kraayenhof composed "Adios Nonino" in 1959 as a tribute to his recently deceased father. The song's haunting melody made it an instant classic that continues to be performed and recorded by tango musicians today....
