'"Baila Mi Rumba"' ('"Dance My Rumba"') is a dance song written by Isidore York, Rudy Prez and V. M. Hernndez, produced by Prez and Emilio Estefan, Jr., and performed by Venezuelan singer Jos Luis Rodrguez "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 T Tambin Llorars" in 1987. The success of the song led its parent album to its peak at number two in the 'Billboard' Latin Pop Albums.

"Baila Mi Rumba" is one of Rodrguez' signature songs and the recipient of a Grammy Award nomination for Best Latin Pop Performance, which it lost to Jos Feliciano's rendition of "Cielito Lindo". Often included on greatest hits collections by the singer, most of the time on edited versions, as in 'The Best of Jose Luis Rodrguez: Ultimate Collection' where it was shortened from its original length of 6:31 to 3:22.

The song debuted in the 'Billboard' Hot Latin Tracks chart at number 33 in the week of April 29, 1989, climbing to the top ten four weeks later.

It ranked second in the Hot Latin Tracks Year-End Chart of 1989, spent 29 weeks within the Top 40 in United States, and has been covered by several performers including Beto y sus Canarios, Alfredo y sus Teclados and Tony Camargo.
