This rhythm evolved from different contributions and innovations made by Cuban musicians using dance melodies and the balance between tempo and syncopated tunes.
The appearance of this rhythm owes to the dancers of the Silver Star society, the Havana central corner of Prado and Neptuno and later, in all Havana dance floors, the creation of dance steps according to the characteristics of the new style.
Dancers made an "escobilleo" beating to one side and to the other, the one, two; one, two, three and that sound on the floor, like cha-cha-cha gave name to this rhythm.
The main feature of the performance of this genre is that singers are the same musicians. "La Engañadora", its most emblematic piece and the Aragon orchestra from Cienfuegos, known as the designers of Cha Cha Cha, have been its greatest exponents for decades.
