MP3 of the Day

In 1951, Cuban composer and violinist Enrique Jorrín introduced the cha-cha-chá to Cuban dance floors while playing with Orquesta América. According to Jorrín, the sound made by the shoes of the dancers on the floor sounded like "cha-cha-cha", while they tried to follow the new rhythm that, at the beginning, was simply called "mambo-rumba". His influence is felt to this day. Today we have Dancing Under Influence by the band BEDROOM EYES, from the small northern Swedish town of Östersund.
