Who invented the cha-cha?

Answer 1

The cha-cha originated in Cuba in the early 1950s, evolving from the mambo and influenced by the son and rumba styles. It was popularized by the Cuban composer and violinist Enrique Jorrín, who is credited with creating the distinctive rhythm and dance steps associated with the cha-cha. The dance gained international fame when it was introduced to the United States, particularly through the performances of dancers like Pierre Dulaine and later in ballroom dance competitions.
