What song by Chayanne became strongly associated with quinceañera waltzes?

“Tiempo de Vals” by Chayanne became strongly associated with quinceañera waltzes.

Chayanne, a Puerto Rican singer, released “Tiempo de Vals” in 1990. The song’s title means “Waltz Time,” and its formal, sentimental character made it a popular choice for quinceañera choreographies and father-daughter dances in many Latin American communities.

Its association does not make it an obligatory quinceañera song. Families and choreographers use many other songs, including regional music, pop, ballads, and instrumental waltzes. The song is also a recording by a professional artist, not the name of the dance itself: the formal dance is commonly called a vals or waltz.
