Nocturno a mi barrio: Troilo wrote the poem a few years before 1968 at a wake, where he turned to guitarist Ubaldo De Lío and asked for something in D minor; the recording has Troilo himself, not a singer, reciting the poem over his own bandoneón and De Lío's guitar. and In 1968 at a wake Troilo told a guitarist friend to give him something in D minor and improvised the poem, which recalls the coal man Jacquemin, who always played left half 'to be closer to my heart', and ends with stars like friendly hands calling 'Gordo, quédate aquí'.^†^†
