Balada para un loco (German: ballad for a madman ) is a tango by Astor Piazzolla from 1969. The text is by Horacio Ferrer .

The first recording was made with the singer Roberto Goyeneche and the singer Amelita Baltar . The piece became one of Piazzolla's first major commercial successes in all of Latin America. It has little in common with traditional tango - in terms of musical theme, style, meter and rhythm. His surreal, witty and extremely topical text tells a story of unusual length.

All of this transcended the traditional ways of composing the Argentine tango to such an extent that the piece became an interface between the tango before and after Piazzolla .

Conservative tangueros still reject the piece today. At its premiere in Luna Park in Buenos Aires, the audience threw coins at the singer disapprovingly. Four days later, 200,000 albums were still sold.
