Cachuca

Cachuca

Cachucha is a Spanish solo dance in 3/4 to 3/8 of the time. Similar to Bolero. Cachucha is danced to an Andalusian national song with castanet accompaniment.

Etymology

From Spanish "cachucha", small boat. Possibly from diminutive of "cacho", shard, saucepan, probably from Vulgar Latin "cacculus", alteration of Latin "caccabus", pot, from Greek "kakkabos", a small container.

History

The Cachucha was first created in Cuba though it is now considered a Spanish dance. Fanny Essler (1810-1884, Vienna) was the first one to make this dance popular. She first introduced the Cachucha to the public in the ballet's "The Lady of the Lake" (1812) and later in "Le Diable boiteux" (the Lame Devil) in 1836.
