Old music vs traditional music

Biagi,  Gobierno de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires

I would have a string of hot dinners if they could be exchanged for the number of times I have had this conversation:

Are you coming to the milonga?

No, I don't fancy it.

How come?

I just don't like the music that DJ plays.

Oh, but it'll be traditional, they say, knowing that's what I like.

But it isn't. I know, from experience, they mean the music will be from somewhere between 1920 and 1970 and that by no means will it be the great classics, because that "gets boring" apparently.  Amazing that dance numbers can be well-loved for nearly a hundred years and yet some people find them boring.  Would that those people would take themselves off to, or open, a "neolonga".    

'Old' music does not mean 'good' music or even 'traditional' music. 'Traditional' means  the music has been loved and danced for decades, mostly in Buenos Aires.  The classics we hear, that are danced in cities all over the world are loved because they are good for dancing! They have not become classics randomly and there was no committee that sat to decide the 100 best tandas.
