Cha cha cha chá

It is a genre of Cuban popular music. Its name is related to the sound produced by the dancers when their feet rub against the floor. It was created by Cuban orchestra conductor, violinist and composer Enrique Jorrín, who was born in the town of Candelaria in the province of Pinar del Río. The first of this new rhythm was entitled La engañadora which dates from 1948 and achieved notable success in 1953.
