[Tango-L] Popularity of Milonga (the dance)

['Mash]

>From what I understand and correct me if I am wrong, Tango through evolutionary processes was born out of Milonga.

My query is how come Milonga appears to be left as an almost side note to Tango. I mean how come there are not Milonga clubs that predominantly play Milongas rather then normal break from the Tangos?

I am thinking in terms of comparing it to Salsa and Salsa clubs, is there such a thing a Milonga that just plays Milongas?

And moreso one wonders why Tango became more popular then it's energetic parent.
