i found this on an old sexteto habanero recording. Probably one of the earliest (if not THE earliest ) examples of recorded abakwa music--and recorded in a completely nontraditional format --the sexteto. Abakwa is normally percussion and voices only.
This is pattern is very similar to the 6/8 "palitos" pattern pplayed in rumba COLUMBIA and abakwa.
Note: this pattern is kind of a musical palindrome---the second measure (in 6/8) is the mirror image of the first measure--in other words , the 1st and 4th Beats are The same, and the 2nd and 3rd beats are the same.
