Las palabras que dirige al público en el track 5 "Astor´s Speech" no tienen desperdicio:

"My name is Astor Piazzolla, I was born in Argentina, I was raised in New York, and my parents come from Frani, Italia. This strange instument that you see here, many people they say is an accordion, I say is not an accordion, is a bandonneon. Is an instrument that was invented in Germany in 1854 to play religious music in a church. It started in a church, and then a couple of years later they took it to the whore houses in Buenos Aires, and now we take it to Central Park. It´s a nice tour for this instrument..."
