Abdiel first encountered Buenos-Aires-based Tango orchestra, Orquesta Típica Fernández Fierro, in 2016. Spellbound by their live performance, he wrote this poem in tribute to them and later set it to one of their instrumental tracks, entitled "Marejada", which means "heavy seas". Here included with the orchestra's kind permission. This poem is from his WELL VERSED collection.
An orquesta típica includes a front line of bandoneón players — "bandoneonistas" — the bandoneón being at the heart of Argentine-Tango music. The back line comprises string players.
