Umm... Milonga is a child of tango, not a parent. In the twenties, there was a range of tango-tango/milonga-milonga. Milonga became differentiated from tango in the 1930s as tangos slowed down, and milongas sped up, and the candombera feeling was put into the milonga.
There was a different music called milonga in the 1800s, but that isn't what we are talking about when we discuss milonga.
