My 2 cents: >Since this is a new style of dancing milonga, I wonder if it is recent enough that we can trace its origins.<
I think Juan Carlos Caceres gets the credit for the music with his "Tango Negro" composition, and his promotion of Candombe and Murga. He injected fresh blood into this type of music. >I wonder who coined the term "milonga candombera". And who, if anyone, teaches or hands down this style to others?< Think of other terms like Tango/Milonga, Tango/Habanera, Bolero/Tangueado, etc., The Milonga Candombera is a Milonga played with Candombe rhythms, or rather using drums or drumming effects to accentuate the rhythm in the music. Eduardo Capussi and Mariana Flores worked on this style, and came up with interesting choreography maybe 9 - 10 years ago.
