The composition is an homage to the tango, an Argentine dance of Cuban origin, born between 1880 and 1920 as a hybrid of various folk dances. Initially rejected by the upper classes, it became popular in Europe between 1910 and 1920. Piazzolla, a famous composer, had Italian origins.

The period from 1880 to 1920, known as the Old Guard, includes the genesis and development of the elements that would later define this musical genre. Thus, tango was born as a hybrid of other popular music and dances, such as milonga and Andalusian tango. Considered a lascivious dance, it was rejected by the middle and upper classes who danced ballroom dances and, along with them, the Viennese waltz. It was only in the decade between 1910 and 1920 that tango began to be accepted and became fashionable in the grand salons of major European capitals, including Paris, Berlin, Rome, and Vienna.Initially, it was performed by a trio consisting of violin, guitar, and flute. Some tangos were written for piano or piano and voice. Subsequently, the trio became piano, violin, and accordion. Later, specialized tango orchestras began to form. The names of the major music composers are all of Italian descent. Even the composer and orchestra conductor Astor Piazzolla had Italian grandparents, with his paternal grandparents from Apulia and his maternal grandparents from Tuscany.
