Milonga (music)
Precursor to tango, milonga is a musical genre that originated in the Río de la Plata areas of Argentina, Uruguay and the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. "Milonga is an excited habanera." The original habanera divided into four pulses, in a standard two-four where every note was stressed. In becoming milonga, though, all four notes turned strong, as tempo was doubled. The strength of the first beat weakened the fourth giving an almost waltz-like feel to milonga: one-two-three (four), one-two-three (four). Habanera is a slower, more explicit sounding ''one'', two, ''three''-four. At least one modern tango pianist believes the polka influenced the speeding up of the milonga. Over time, dance steps and other musical influences were added, eventually contributing to the creation of tango. Artists Artists known for their milonga compositions and interpretations include Roberto Firpo, Angel D'Agostino, Pedro Maffia, Pedro Laurenz, Ángel Villoldo, Francisco Canaro, Rodolfo ...

Milonga (dance)
Milonga dance is dancing to milonga music. Technique There are different styles of milonga: ''milonga lisa'' (simple milonga), in which the dancer steps on every beat of the music; and ''milonga con traspié'', in which the dancer uses ''traspiés'' or ''contrapasos'' (changes of weight from one foot to the other and back again in double time or three steps in two beats) to interpret the music.

It consist of 8 counts with the accents on the first, however it can also sometimes be on the second, additionally the accents are present on the forth, fifth and seventh counts.
