One of those nice little words that you’ll hear here and there is CACHENGUE. It’s a great sounding word, isn’t it?

I think it’s mainly used in two ways:

The typical and most frequent use of cachengue is when you refer to a party with high spirits, where people are enjoying themselves, dancing to music that matches their energies, normally cumbia or cuarteto.

For example:

“Y a eso de las 3 se armó un cachengue hermoso.”

The second use is related to cachengue as a way of saying a row.

For example:

“Al final del partido los jugadores fueron a protestarle al árbitro y se armó cachengue.”

One new word for your collection. Put it to use!

Until soon,
