Robben Ford has a tune "Rhumba Blues".

Hank Snow did a tune I liked as a kid called "Rhumba Boogie".

It would be a fun tune to do with a band, IMO.

Rhumba Boogie - 8 weeks @ #1 on country charts, 1951

My old band used to do the Bobby King/Terry Edwards/Ry Cooder arrangement
of "Just a Little Bit." I don't know if this is a rhumba, exactly, but it
might have the feel you're looking for. Check out the sound clip here from
their album (first one in the list):

It's a lot of fun to play, but I don't know how well it would translate to
a solo act.

I don't know about Rumbas but these are some songs I have on my list that at
least have different rhythms for blues songs:

Shake it for Me - Howlin' Wolf
Who's Been Talking -Howlin' Wolf
300 Pounds - Howlin' Wolf
La Juanda - Chuck Berry (not blues at all, but I love playing this song)
Can't Stop Lovin' - Elmore James
One Way Out - Sonny Boy Williamson (Not the Allman Brothers version)

I know there are a lot more, especially with Wolf and Elmore.

You might want to look toward New Orleans music too.

Thanks, Mike. Yeah, that might not be the right name for what I'm
looking for. Hard to describe, though.

Horizontal or vertical? For the former, Ravel's Bolero is quite effective.

How about Jesse Winchester's "Rhumba Girl?" Nicolette Larson did a
good version of that one....
