Get an unusual degree in Latin music (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rumba

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'latin music' is the definition.
'rumba' can be an answer for 'music' (rumba is a kind of music). I am not sure about the 'latin' bit.

'get an unusual degree' is the wordplay.
'get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'an unusual' becomes 'rum' (I've seen this before).
'degree' becomes 'ba' (Bachelor of Arts).
'rum'+'ba' is 'RUMBA'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rumba that I've seen before include "one's on the floor for it" , "Ballroom dance of Cuban origin" , "Afro-Cuban or ballroom dance" , "Cuban folk dance" , "Caribbean dance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
