Maybe I’m totally off here, because I don’t really know that much about music theory. But I think this is exactly what happens in Flamenco. A Bulería song/performance has 12 beats, mostly 6/8+3/4, accented on 3, 6, 8, 10, 12. The chord changes on 3 and 10. The accents can change to literally anything, deviating from the 6/8+3/4, spanning multiple bars. As long as the chord change is there, or the 10th is heavily accented with a stop, when done. Because the chord change is asymmetrical, it never really feels like “just 3/4” or whatever is happening rhythmically.
It’s like a meta game to outwit each other, but always finding the common ground immediately.
