Originally a melting-pot Afro-Argentine dance rhythm

                                                                                                    predating the tango, Milonga now also refers to the wildly

                                                                                                    popular tango dance parties in Buenos Aires — as well

                                                                                                    as Europe and the United States, wherever enthusiastic

                                                                                                    milongueros rendezvous for fun and passionate dancing.

                                                                                                    Milonga is also the name of a lighter, playful version of

                                                                                                    the button necklaces in the Cynthia Bloom Collectible

                                                                                                    Jewelry line, designed to be worn as either single strands

                                                                                                    or layered.

The Milonga Collection is a tribute both to Cynthia’s love of dance and to her mysterious Argentinian grandmother, known only through faded photographs and family lore.

The Milonga Collection was launched in 2008 with an evocative multimedia website, sampled below.

"Hay milonga de amor / hay temblor de gotán / este tango es para vos" … Gotan Project, Santa Maria (del Buen Ayre), 2001. Video by Dominic Leung, Thomas Napper, and Fabien Monheim, 2002.
