Milonga
According to the majority of the experts, this song comes from Argentinean folk music, specifically from a song of Rio de la Plata, for which reason it is the 'ida y vuelta' style. It came into Andalucía by means of the port of Cádiz. It seems, Josefa Díaz, daughter of the bullfighter Paco Oro, was hired by Juan Junquera from Jerez to do a tour in Argentina. On returning Pepa Oro had adapted the 'milonga' offering it as the first of her repertoire. It usually has the rhythm of a 'tanguillo' and is executed in minor tones. Pepe Marchena was also one of its principal authors.
