Cha cha cha - Cha cha cha (English spelling)

It is a form of rhythm in popular music. It is usually performed using a güiro (a Cuban percussion instrument made by rubbing wire brushes on the tough skin of a gourd-shaped fruit with notches) and is said to have been named after the cha-cha-cha rhythm. It was created by Cuban violinist and orchestra conductor Enrique Jorrín, who improved on the Cuban dance danzón that was popular from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, and became popular worldwide in the mid-1950s.

Japanese:

ポピュラー音楽のリズムの形式の一つ。通常グィロ(ひょうたん形の果実の堅い表皮に刻み目をつけ、針金のブラシでこすって音を出すキューバン・バンドの打楽器)を用い、チャチャチャという感じのリズムをとるところからこの名がついたといわれる。キューバのバイオリン奏者兼楽団指揮者エンリケ・ホリンが、19世紀末から20世紀初めにかけて流行したキューバの舞曲ダンソンを改良して創始し、1950年代の中ごろ世界的な流行をみた。
