In 2007, the Argentine edition of Rolling Stone ranked it fifty-sixth on its list of "The 100 Greatest Albums of Argentine Rock".[1]
The album was recorded between 1969 and 1970 at TNT Studios, Buenos Aires and featured Tanguito accompanied only by his acoustic guitar, while Javier Martínez served as the producer and spoke to him from the control room.[2] Originally, Tanguito was going to record with the members of Manal—Martínez, Claudio Gabis and Alejandro Medina—but he did not show up for any of the two days that they were cited in the studio.[2]
The songs "La balsa" and "Amor de primavera" were released as a single within a "flood" of releases by Mandioca in 1970. Simultaneously, "Natural" was included in the label's compilation album Pidamos peras a Mandioca, which featured several artists from Argentine rock's first generation, such as Manal, Pappo, Vox Dei, Alma y Vida, Moris, Billy Bond and La Cofradía de la Flor Solar.[3]
The recordings of Tanguito for Mandioca were eventually released as an LP record, Tango, in 1973 on Talent-Microfón,[4] successor of Mandioca.[5] The album was largely unnoticed when it was released, partly due to the poor quality of the recordings.[2]
