As Sergio Vandekier and Clay Nelson, among others, patiently explained,
Argentine tango has been evolving. We should appreciate the wisdom of the
Buenos Aires city fathers who obviously recognized that evolution. Why did they
set the minimum of the traditional argentine tango music at 70% and not at 95%
or 90%? Accordingly, these days, an event called milonga should offer
traditional tango music as well as some of the late music ( say Libedinsky,
Gotan, etc ) and even offer some non-tango music to experiment with. Madeleine
Peyroux or Frank Sinatra come to mind, e.g. No need for segregation into
afternoon(!) neo-milongas or alternative milongas.
