Huh, gone. It was Sindicato del Ritmo & Alexander Abreu with a cover of Juanes' Camisa negra.

It changes to a Yoruba rythm originally played on batá. I don't hear it clearly so wasn't able to identify the toque.

@Gaviota re the Baila y confia song you posted before...It feels like a 6-8 pattern (4 groups of 3) like that used in Afro.
'Normal' Salsa is in 4 groups of 4 (called a 4/4 time signature, so 4 beats -which I've called X below- that each break down into 4 micro beats- which I've called O below )
1. 2. 3. 4. Beats
XOOO XOOO XOOO XOOO 'Micro' beats (TM I've just invented this term ;-))
In Latin 'Afro' (usually west or central African descended music) it can change to 4 groups of 3. As it's lopsided it feels super different.
1. 2. 3. 4. Beats
XOO XOO XOO XOO Micro beats
If you try clapping the main beats 1, 2, 3, 4/Xs) then clicking your tongue or saying da da da da on the Os for each style, you'll feel more space in afro. It's still 4 beats but as there fewer Microbeats there is more space.
In Baila y confia you can hear the 6 notes like lows and highs. I'll write _ for a low sound and ° for high (not exact! Just to help you hear it)
1. 2. 3. 4. Beats
XOO XOO XOO XOO Micro beats
_ ° _ ° ° ° _ ° _ ° ° °
Humpa mentioned it comes from a bata toque. If anyone has the toque name or a link I'd love to dive deeper, thanks.

Having some formatting probs with this interface, and as I can't post an image as I'm a newish member I'll put a fwd slash between each beat:

Oh no, why while we can? You mean until it disappears under the weight of reparto?
