"Baila Mi Rumba" ("Dance My Rumba") is a dance song written by Isidore York, Rudy Pérez and V. M. Hernández, produced by Pérez and Emilio Estefan, Jr., and performed by Venezuelan singer José Luis Rodríguez "El Puma". It was released in 1989 as the lead single from his studio album Tengo Derecho a Ser Feliz (1989), and became his second number-one single in the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart after "Y Tú También Llorarás" in 1987.[1][2] The success of the song led its parent album to its peak at number two in the Billboard Latin Pop Albums.[3]
"Baila Mi Rumba" is one of Rodríguez' signature songs and the recipient of a Grammy Award nomination for Best Latin Pop Performance, which it lost to José Feliciano's rendition of "Cielito Lindo".[4] Often included on greatest hits collections by the singer, most of the time on edited versions, as in The Best of Jose Luis Rodríguez: Ultimate Collection where it was shortened from its original length of 6:31 to 3:22.[5]
