Cha Cha Cha / Chas Chas Chas

Cha Cha Cha / Chas Chas Chas : The cha-cha-cha (in Spanish chachachá) is a Latin American style of dance music derived from the rumba and mambo in 4/4 meter

The music of cha-cha-cha evolved from mambo. In 1951, Cuban composer and violinist Enrique Jorrín introduced the cha-cha-cha rhythm to Cuban dance floors while playing with Orquestra America. Some say that he came to this idea as early as in 1948 while being with Antonio Arcaño's orchestra. 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".
