It is not known what secret gift made Pedro Maffia find in the core of the bandoneon sounds that nobody had discovered before.
Maffia was who delivered the bandoneon needed by this popular genre so to leave behind the playful Guardia Vieja and turn serious, concentrated, fairly dreaming and frequently sad.
As composer, very few were like him. Among his great tangos, stands out “Pura maña”
