What a pleasure to hear 'Adios Nonino' again.
(author: Astor Piazzolla ).

Were tough times those when I was to play it for an
audition at a Music School (60's)

Opinion:
Please let me say that only the BANDONEON has the
distinctive sound of the dance born in Buenos Aires
city (Argentina) and adopted in countries as different
like the US, Japan, Spain, Turkey or Finland.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandone%C3%B3n

The spirit of tango has been greatly understood by
thousands of musicians worldwide that follow the
original tango genre.

Sadly some players are changing the original style in
a way that it sounds more as at the rythm of a
military march than dance music with offers cadence
and syncopation.

It could be a purist decision, but when I played tango
a few times in the US, preferred made it with bass and
guitar rather than incorporating an accordion when
bandoneon wasn't available, IMO actually bandoneon
players are rare coin there :(

Think that be helping to the mess is that a 'diatonic
accordion' is close to a bandoneon in the
fact that both haven't keys , so that kinda of
accordion hasn't keys, unless as piano keys, just
buttons, sorta of 'concertina' instrument.

Hope that helps.

Hmm, then I challenge you to listen to Carel
Kraayenhof playing Adios Nonino and not be moved.

I only have a YouTube link but the sound is OK
