He became famous for his "tango nuevo," music that blends the earthy traditional Argentinian tango with elements from classical music and jazz and that is often scored for electric as well as traditional instruments.

Among his many works are Buenos Aires (1951) for orchestra and bandoneóns; Maria de Buenos Aires (1967), a tango opera; The Four Seasons (1964–70); Summit (1974), a collaboration with saxophonist Gerry Mulligan; and Le Grand Tango (1982) for cello and piano.
