# Chacha

The Cha-Cha-Cha remains a popular rhythm with broad audience appeal, despite the fact that it is somewhat dated and made trite by Americanized versions. I've used "Rico Vacilon" as a demo. This file was mostly developed from the patterns in "Latin Rhythms: Mystery Unraveled" by Victor Lopez.
