Milonga (music)

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. It was derived from an earlier style of singing known as the payada de contrapunto. The song was set to a lively 24 time signature, as are most milongas. Milonga has a syncopated beat, consisting of 8 beats with accents on the 1st (sometimes also 2nd), 4th, 5th, and 7th beats. * Regular 24 [1] 2 3 4 [5] 6 7 8 * Milonga [1] 2 3 [4] [5] 6 [7] 8, sometimes also [1] [2] 3 [4] [5] 6 [7] 8 * 332 [1] 2 3 [4] 5 6 [7] 8
