Cha-cha-cha
The cha-cha-cha (in
Spanish cha-cha-chá and also known simply as the cha-cha) is a style of
dance music. In
1951, Cuban composer and violinist
Enrique Jorrín introduced the cha-cha-chá to Cuban dance floors while playing with Orquesta América. According to Jorrín, the sound made by the shoes of the dancers on the floor sounded like "cha-cha-cha", while they tried to follow the new rhythm that, at the beginning, was simply called "mambo-rumba". In
1953, his La Engañadora and Silver Star became recorded hits. In early days, this dance and its music were both known as "triple mambo" or "mambo with
guiro rhythm".
