Franck Angelis – Concert Étude on Astor Piazzolla’s “Chiquilín de Bachín” (Tetiana Muchychka)

Originally, this work is a tango canción composed by Astor Piazzolla. The title “Chiquilín de Bachín” translates as “Little Boy from Bachín.”

The true story tells of a boy who is only 11 years old, forced to sell flowers at night in a café called Bachín in Buenos Aires. He walks through the café in the late hours, offering flowers to strangers, trying to earn a few coins in order to support his mother.

The lyrics for this tango were written by Horacio Ferrer, a close friend of Piazzolla. They speak of poverty, longing, sorrow, and shame—the boy’s shame about his own financial situation, and the deeper shame of the people who sadly turn away and do nothing for children like him.

Despite the difficult, serious, and sorrowful content of the lyrics, Piazzolla’s music is filled with light, hope, and love, embracing the child with tenderness and giving his story a quiet but powerful voice.
