I spent some time using the search tool on this forum and couldn't find it. There was a recent thread where someone asked about a song they described as the "oldest" chacha. Can someone post a link to that thread?
Thanks.

Not sure about a thread, but my understanding is that the earliest chacha (then known as "triple mambo") was "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White" by Perez Prado.

Thanks, but I am thinking of another one which was discussed here within the last week. Only I still can't find the thread.

could it possibly be in the thread in general dance that I just bumped?

Thanks, Fasc. But that's not it, either. I had already looked there.
No, someone asked about it, and another poster suggested the title, then someone else corrected how it's spelled and suggested a place to find it.
I meant to write down the title of the song and got lazy. And now I can't find it.
It's driving me nuts.

Could you be thinking of a traditional cha cha tune called "Wheels". See http://www.danzones.net/chachamusic.htm for more details and to hear sample.
