Orquesta de Enrique Jorrín stands as a seminal figure in the history of Cuban music, chiefly responsible for the creation and popularization of the cha-cha-chá. Founded by Enrique Jorrín, a talented violinist, composer, and arranger, the ensemble emerged in the early 1950s, a period rich with musical innovation. Jorrín's deep understanding of traditional Cuban rhythms combined with his sophisticated approach to orchestration set the stage for a new dance craze that would sweep through Cuba and echo across the international music scene.

The music of Orquesta Enrique Jorrín is characterized by its infectious rhythms, intricate melodies, and an ability to get people onto the dance floor. With hit releases like "La Engandora" and numerous volumes dedicated to the "El Creador del Cha Cha Chá," the group solidified its top-tier status among dance orchestras. Their work underwent meticulous remastering, evidenced by albums such as "Con Jorrín en el Capri" and the series "The Real Cuban Music," ensuring that the crisp, toe-tapping sounds of the cha-cha-chá continue to resonate with both nostalgic listeners and new audiences discovering the genre's joyful energy. Even after the passing of Jorrín in 1987, the orchestra has maintained a legacy that keeps the spirit of Jorrín's innovation alive, delivering performances that are both a tribute to their founder and a testament to the timeless appeal of the cha-cha-chá.
