.....The music 100 years ago was different - the old 'guardia vieja'  
style that had a faster tempo than what developed later in the 20s and  
30s. We have few records of what the first 'milongas' were like, but  
they were undoubtedly very different from what we have today in terms  
of the music played and the way people danced.

Keith Elshaw (ToTango.net) has a very nicely restored Firpo version of  
la Cumparsite, recorded in 1916...
