Thanks for the comments, on list and off, about people dancing to non-tango music (sometimes called nuevo). It's true - the kids in BA (or anyone else) are not dancing to non-tango music. I did not hear from anyone who knows of a milonga in BA that plays anything but tango music.
It seems the only ones who are dancing to non-tango music are the new (or newer) communities. Maybe that's why it got the association with the young. What a shame. It will take these communities a lot longer to learn tango. I also hear from teachers and performers who feel that they must use non-tango music, or they will not "reach" new people considering learning tango. Good idea or not?
