When I found out on October 1st., 2020 that the great Argentine cartoonist Quino had died the day before, I immediately began to write a musical piece in his honour, without forgetting Mafalda, his main character, his soul twin sister (or daughter), claimant of social justice and critical about some human follies.

This piece has three parts:

  • A tango with a very light Andalusian flavor, in memory of his parents born in Fuengirola (Málaga, Spain);
  • The tango ends followed by a very slight reminiscence of it as imagining his last days;
  • Finally, a very short requiem dedicated to him and Mafalda.

The entire piece is painted in very subtle tones given the sadness with which it was written due to the loss of such a great artist.
