milonga!

[Subliminal]

What are your favorite milonga (the music/dance, not the gathering) songs and step patterns?

I'll go first.

Songs:

Ella es asi - Edgardo Donato Y Sus Muchachos (Singer:Horacio Lagos)
Milonga Del 900 1933 - Carlos Gardel
Reliquias portenas - Orquesta Tipica Francisco Canaro
Morena - Esteban Morgado
Un Baile e Beneficio - Otros Aires
Beltango - Milonga para un armonica
Milonga Sentimental - Otros Aires
Amor que se Baila - Otros Aires
Baldosa floja - La Chicana
La Milonga de Bs As - Francisco Canaro
Milonga del corazon - Orquesta Tipica De Juan D`Arienzo (Singer:Alberto Echague)
Oro y plata - La Chicana
Tango Negro - Juan Carlos Caceres

Foot patterns:

Back ochos with leader double step (snake walk? whatever you call it)
Continuous back crosses (back cross, unwind, back cross, etc)
Fast front ochos (aka the butt-wiggle. )
Ocho cortado
Leader walking backwards in double-time, follower walking forwards in single time
Just continuous sidestepping and changing up the rhythm can be fun


How about neo-milongas? Anything with a heavy beat can work I suppose. Got any ideas for fun neo-milonga songs?

I enjoy milonga too much to give a few favorites, and many of mine have already been mentioned - except for one: El Esquinazo

Silueta Portena and Ella es Asi.

I like 'm slinky rather than fast.
