5 - People in Argentina, frequently bring their guitars to family reunions or parties.

    They sing all type of songs, as entertaiment after dinner.  In rural areas they still
"play" at creating  'Payadas" for fun.

Sebastian Piana, changed this tyoe of milonga (Campera- rural) to the modern version

that usually is danced...but this a whole different story.

Summary: Milonga is milonga. It has evolved or changed over time. The milonga campera is fundamentally for
 
plying guitar and singing, the Urban type is fundamentally for dancing.

To answer Jake's question: The milonga campera was one of Tango roots. Some early tangos are very
close to the milonga rythm.  El Porteñito - El esquinazo -
