It's very common to many South American rhythms. In Europe we have the Scandinavian hambo and the two ancient dances sharing the name sarabande. The hambo and the 17th/18th C. sarabande both have a distinctive emphasis on the second beat of every other bar while the 16th C. sarabande is in alternating 3/4 and 6/8 bars. In the USA two bar claves patterns imported from the south can be found in many variants of jazz, blues and rock.
