In the US, the term "[[rhumba]]" (anglicised version of rumba) began to be used during the 1920s to refer to ballroom music with Afro-Cuban music themes, particularly in the context of [[big band music]].<ref name="DB" /> This music was mostly inspired by [[son cubano]], while being rhythmically and instrumentally unrelated to Cuban rumba.<ref name="Hess">{{cite book|last1=Hess|first1=Carol A.|title=Representing the Good Neighbor: Music, Difference, and the Pan American Dream|date=2013|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=New York, NY|pages=115–116, 200|isbn=9780199339891|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RQqxAAAAQBAJ}}</ref> By 1935, with the release of "[[The Peanut Vendor]]" by [[Don Azpiazú]] and the popularity of [[Xavier Cugat]] and other Latin artists, the genre had become highly successful and well-defined. The rhumba dance that developed on the East Coast of the United States was based on the [[bolero]]-[[son cubano|son]].<ref name="WM">{{cite book|last1=Miller|first1=Terry E.|last2=Shahriari|first2=Andrew|title=World Music: A Global Journey|date=2015|publisher=Routledge|location=New York, NY|page=255|isbn=9781317974604|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oUZHBAAAQBAJ|edition=Concise}}</ref> The first rumba competition took place in the [[Savoy Ballroom]] in 1930.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Hubbard|first1=Karen|last2=Monaghan|first2=Terry|editor1-last=Malnig|editor1-first=Julie|title=Ballroom, Boogie, Shimmy Sham, Shake: A Social and Popular Dance Reader|date=2009|publisher=University of Illinois|location=Chicago, IL|pages=135, 144|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zCSDBjRqC5EC|chapter=Social Dancing at the Savoy|isbn=9780252075650}}</ref> Nowadays, two different styles of ballroom rumba coexist: American style and International style.
 
From 1935 to the 1950s, the Mexican and American film industry expanded the use of the term rumba as [[Rumberas film|rumbera films]] became popular.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Poey|first1=Delia|title=Cuban Women and Salsa: To the Beat of Their Own Drum|date=2014|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|location=New York, NY|pages=13–32|isbn=9781137382825|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6cKpBQAAQBAJ}}</ref> In this context, ''rumberas'' were Cuban and Mexican divas, singers and actresses who sang [[bolero]]s and [[canción|canciones]], but rarely rumbas. Notable ''rumberas'' include [[Rita Montaner]], [[Rosa Carmina]], [[María Antonieta Pons]] and [[Ninón Sevilla]].<ref>{{cite book|editor1-last=Mora|editor1-first=Carl J.|title=Mexican Cinema: Reflections of a Society, 1896-2004|date=2005|publisher=McFarland|location=Jefferson, NC|page=86|isbn=9780786469253|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9CIkCQAAQBAJ}}</ref>

In the 1970s, with the emergence of [[salsa music|salsa]] as a popular music and dance genre in the US, rhythmic elements of Cuban rumba (particularly [[guaguancó]]) became prevalent alongside the [[son cubano|son]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Pietrobruno|first1=Sheenagh|title=Salsa and Its Transnational Moves|date=2006|publisher=Lexington|location=Lanham, MD|page=36|isbn=9780739114681|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FTdPIPleKZgC}}</ref> Like [[salsa (dance)|salsa]], rhumba would then be danced to salsa ensembles instead of big bands. By the end of the 20th century, rhumba was also danced to [[pop music]] and [[jazz]] bands as seen in TV shows like ''[[Dancing with the Stars (U.S. TV series)|Dancing with the Stars]]''.<ref name="WM" />
