The bandoneón is a type of concertina, a musical instrument that belongs to the family of free reed instruments. It is particularly popular in Argentinian music, especially in tango. The bandoneón has a unique sound, produced by pushing and pulling its bellows while pressing buttons to create different notes. Invented in the 19th century in Germany, the bandoneón was brought to South America by immigrants. Over time, it became a key instrument in tango orchestras, played by famous musicians like Astor Piazzolla. Its expressive tones evoke deep emotions, making it a beloved symbol of Argentinian culture.
