The tresillo rotated: 2+3+3 sixteenths, twice per bar: x.x..x.. x.x..x.. The short note comes first, so the figure feels like it lands early and then floats. At the eighth-note level it is the second bar of the bossa nova clave; at the sixteenth level it is the accent shape behind partido-alto samba, calypso/soca strums and many Brazilian and West African guitar lines. Compare it with 3-3-2 to hear how the same three durations change character when the gap moves.
