What does "cha palante" mean?

[David Gleason]

"Echa para adelante" is the full meaning; in English, "Move ahead" or more
figuratively, "grow" or "progress" or "be successful."

"Echa p'alante" is a very common term in Puerto Rican salsa music; I think
there is even a song (Sonora Ponceña?) with that title.

Yes, that's where I heard it. A good political tune.
