Begin Doc

	The Cha-Cha-Cha remains a popular rhythm with broad audience appeal,
    despite the fact that it is somewhat dated and made trite by
    Americanized versions. I've used "Rico Vacilon" as a demo.
	This file was mostly developed from the patterns in
    "Latin Rhythms: Mystery Unraveled" by Victor Lopez.
