How about polyrhythmic drumming in the music of the trance/possession religions?

Especially in the stick drumming of Haitian voodoo. Polyrhythms
determine who gets possessed and when possession takes place; and
polyrhythms determine whether exorcism of demons takes place or not.
As a Zapotec shaman from Huatla once told me, "Demons can only follow
a straight line." Regards,
