'How do you define tango v milonga?'

The discussion about bpm and strict tempo etc., is very instructive.
However, for me, the characteristic that distinguishes milonga from a fast
(old) tango is the galloping rhythm.  (Dum-da-da-Dum).  If you ever saw
Carmencita dance milonga you would know what I mean.
