Are you talking about percussion parts only, or complete backing 
tracks minus piano?

In either case, all the voices in your Mark III tone unit are fully 
documented in the yellow manuals. And there are General MIDI voice 
assignments in there, If I Recall Correctly. You may need to find 
someone with a full function MIDI sequencer who can record your Latin 
rhythms, and then render the output to .MID files on a floppy.  You'd 
then take that to your DKV and try it.  

You might also ask your instructor what the origin is of the rhythm 
tracks he uses, and see if there's any way to transfer them.. but 
unless they adhere to the General MIDI standard, a clave click on his 
keyboard won't match the clave click on the mark III.  As an example.

There may be some commercially available tracks but I'm not deep 
enough into it to know.

best luck
