A 1959 cha-cha-cha / Latin-pop song recorded by Caterina Valente (and originally performed in German as a duet with her brother in film contexts), “Bongo Cha Cha Cha” became an international hit in multiple language versions; it resurfaced in the 2010s via film placements (e.g., Spider-Man: Far From Home) and went viral again on social platforms such as TikTok in 2021, spawning remixes, covers and renewed chart activity.
