GleAM Records AM7038- Advertisement -Tito Puente: Dance The Cha Cha ChaThe cha cha rhythm was created in Cuba in the early 50s by Enrique Jervin and was introduced to American audiences at a 1954 Carnegie Hall concert featuring Tito Puente and Gilberto Valdez. Those of a certain age will remember two of the genre’s early hits – Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White (Perez Prado in 1955) and Tea For Two Cha Cha (Warren Covington leading Tommy Dorsey’s band in 1958). Dance The Cha Cha Cha is performed immaculately by Puente’s well-drilled ensemble. Attention begins to wander as one cha cha cha is swiftly followed by another.
