Adios Nonino is a composition by tango Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla, written in October 1959 while in New York, in memory of his father, Vicente "Nonino" Piazzolla, a few days after his father's death.
Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992) was an Argentine composer and bandoneon (similar to an accordion) player. Many of his compositions embraced the iconic Argentine dance of the tango. However, he took this traditional form and fused it with elements of both jazz and classical music; this new style becoming known as Nuevo Tango.
