Charles Mingus once wrote and recorded an instrumental piece called "Cumbia and Jazz Fusion", which combined those two genres. It starts out as a normal jazz piece with a Latin tinge and then moves into Mingus doing a sort of Black Power retort to the lyrics of "Shortinin' Bread"!

I didn't know that! I need to get into Mingus, his music sounds endlessly interesting.
It is. He was a fascinating man and his music is a reflection of that.
