GUEST,Phil d'Conch Folklore: The Cachucha (song & dance) (10) Folklore: The Cachucha (song & dance) 30 Jul 19


The wiki gives no sources. The one working link is to an online dictionary.

Cachucha ...is a Spanish solo dance in 3/4 to 3/8 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 created in Cuba though it is now considered a Spanish dance.
