Pachanga is a type of Latin American music and dance originating from Cuba in the 1960s. The dance briefly replaced the cha-cha in popularity, but ultimately was short lived. It still remains very popular, however, in Cali, Colombia, where the original hits of this genre can be heard any day of the week on various radio stations and, in the weekends, at dozens of dance clubs. Also a yearly river float trip taking place on the Guadalupe River in the Texas Hill Country. Festivites include copious amounts of libations and revelry. A true Pachanga[1] event must include the use of the infamous 'SS Pachanga' which can be seen and heard from great distances. The annually event is scheduled for July 22, 2006.
