Interesting,it just hit me that the "Bo Diddley" beat is built on the same rhythmic figure as many Afro-Cuban tunes, the so-called 3-2 clave rhythm.

Think "Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley have you heard: Bop-Bop-Bop (um) Bop-Bop...."

yep Clave or shave and a haircut for we gringos.
Or as they teach New Orleans drummers "How are you? I,m fine" and that gives you the 3-2
