| Excellent music and composition. Lively and exciting music allows the dancers to tune in on various beats. |

| I like the second song, tea for two. The others are okay, not too exciting. |

El Gato's Rhythm Orchestra is very hit and miss. Some of this is fun. Except for the first track, I like much of this as music. But this is NOT a good disc for most dancers, and a terrible disc for beginners. Many of the tracks have radical tempo changes (as noted below). Tracks 9-12 are faster than competition tempos, and so better as slow mambos for beginners.
Here are the titles, durations, and tempos:
1. El Musico, 3:22 (21 bpm). Too slow, and painfully sour trumpets.
2. Tea For Two, 3:15 (28 bpm).
3. Dance Of The Hours, 3:33 (28 bpm). There is a radical rhythm change to a fast samba from 1:25-1:55 in this track.
4. Vendedor De Bananas, 4:39 (29 bpm). This is too long for most beginners, and not all that interesting.
5. Amada Mia, 3:26 (30 bpm). There is a radical rhythm change to mambo from 1:20-1:40 in this track.
6. Ojos Oscuros, 2:54 (32 bpm). Beware, the tempo increases toward the end.
7. Swanee River, 3:03 (32 bpm). Odd beginning with no cha cha beat.
8. Vacaciones En Caracas, 3:06 (33 bpm). There is a radical rhythm change from 2:00-2:20 in this track.
9. Volaré, 3:36 (34 bpm). Some odd changes in tempo at random points.
10. Tiritomba, 1:49 (34 bpm).
11. Hello Dolly, 3:12 (34 bpm).
12. Blue Cha Cha, 3:45 (35 bpm). Again, some odd changes in tempo at random points. |

This CD entitled Strictly Dancing--Cha Cha offers an excellent introduction to cha cha dancing for people who want to dance the cha cha. The music bears that distinctive early 1960s Latin American beat and you will enjoy learning the cha cha as you listen to the music on this CD. Naturally, if you wish to just enjoy the music without dancing there's nothing wrong with that, either!
The CD opens with "El Musico;" this number uses the drums, percussion and horns to carry the bulk of the musical arrangement. The piano is great, too! The melody is infectiously catchy; and then the CD goes into a cha cha rendition of "Tea For Two" although this particular arrangement uses the drums and percussion more than the horns. The pace also increases somewhat so that you can begin to dance faster as you increase your ability to do the cha cha. El Gato's Rhythm Orchestra plays these two numbers very well.
Other great numbers on this CD include "Dance Of The Hours" with its lush intro and great horns; the relentlessly upbeat rendition of "Amada Mia" and even a cha cha rendition of Stephen Foster's classic entitled "Swanee River." Great!
"Volaré" is an excellent example of how El Gato's Rhythm Orchestra could fuse together an Italian classic with a distinctly Latin cha cha beat. The drums, percussion and horns again carry the melody; you will not be disappointed by this track. "Hello Dolly" continues in the same vein; this time El Gato's Rhythm orchestra blends together a classic American Broadway show tune with their wonderful Latin cha cha sound. Impressive!
The CD ends with "Blue Cha Cha;" this number has something of a Mexican flavor to it and the tempo is faster than ever for this last number. The horns are wonderful.
Although some reviewers give this CD only four stars I think I will make this a five star review for two reasons. First of all, the liner notes tell very clearly how to dance the cha cha. Although this is done from the man's perspective it was customary at the time for the man to "lead" the woman around on the dance floor. These cha cha dance instructions impressed me. Second of all, the tempo increases as the CD progresses; this offers everyone a chance to gradually increase their ability to dance the cha cha faster and more proficiently with time. The liner notes also give a brief history of the development of the cha cha dance.
Overall, this CD has great music for your easy listening enjoyment. Moreover, this CD also proves to be a handy instructional device you can use to learn how to dance the cha cha. Although the heyday of the cha cha is long gone, this is no reason to avoid learning it. May you get this CD and enjoy it as much as I do!

| I bought this cd to practice for my latin dance class and it does the trick. It is all instrumental, but like I said, it works for what I wanted it for! |
