If you're referring to track 19 of "Tangos de los
Angels vol. 1" on the Tango Argentino label, then
there's no slash (virgule) between the words "tango"
and "milonga."

In English, tango milonga means dance-party tango. 
This is to differentiate it from tango cancione, which
means song tango.

I've never seen old sheet music with a slash between
the words "tango" and "milonga."  If you have seen a
picture of this on the web, please post a URL so that
I can see it.
