Pachanga

Pachanga is a Latin dance music style originating in the 1950s in Cuba. It is a fusion of Cuban son montuno and mambo, with some influence from Afro-Cuban rumba and jazz. The rhythm is fast and energetic, with a syncopated beat. It is characterized by a shuffling beat and a repeated two-measure pattern. The lyrics typically involve love and dancing. Pachanga has been popularized in Latin America and the United States, and is a regular feature at many Latin music festivals.
