Where did Cha come from?
The cha-cha-chá is unusual as dance music genres go in that its creation can be attributed to a single composer (Orovio 1981:130). 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". The name 'Cha-Cha' is the component of a bell which kept the dancers in time and made a 'cha' sound. (like a metronome)
