Upbeat? I just heard it for the first time. It's a slow song, no more than 60-70 bpm. I suppose one could practice cha cha VERY slow to it and work hard on technique.
 
There's a Cha I rather like which starts with a slow intro before it gets going and is instrumental all the way through. I have been told it is from Jive Bunny & The Master Mixers, and I have had a good shot at trying to track it down with no luck.

Anybody identify?

My first post :D A super site you guys have going :) Glad to finally be a part of it.

I've heard songs like Chilli Cha Cha, Todo Todo, Sexi Dance, Need to Know etc. which come under what is considered suitable for the Cha. Personally i find them too rigid in their form, which is not to say i dislike them. I just find the feel to be a little ..mmm...regimented?

My question is: What rhythm/category/style do these songs (the ones listed under here) come under? Are the songs I'm listing here cha cha cha's? If not what are they? I'm more interested in songs with this rhythm irrespective of whether they are cha's or not.

Vertical Expression of Horizontal Desire - Bellamy Brothers
South of the Border - Dean Martin / Chris Isaak
Ticket to Heaven - Dire Straits
Diesel Cafe - Dire Straits
Tequila Sunrise - Eagles
When you're only lonely - J.D. Souther

What are these? Does anyone know of any songs with a similar rhythm to these? If you do please lemme know! Am i wrong in thinking these are all cha cha cha's of some sort? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

So far as I can tell, these are pretty much all rumba aren't they? I would like to call them "rock and roll rumbas" because they're not latin music and not in Spanish. But the rhythm is there. Other songs like these would include Roy Orbison -"Only the Lonely" and a song I love by Suzanne Vega, called "Caramel."
 
Cha-Cha Music

Hi,
Does anyone know a fast version of Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White and some other good recommendations for a Int. Cha-Cha routine?
Thanks!
 
The most popular cha cha in my region since 3 years is Last Night - Chris Anderson
You can see the video on YouTube:

"The Way", "Pata pata", "Xibom" , "Mentiras", "Smoke on the water" and my favourite: "Unchain my heart" by Joe Cocker (version from GOC is also great!!)
