Now we are onto the 50th anniversary of the year 1968 (no longer 1967).
I realized (this week, thinking about it) that the watershed/pivotal Rolling Stones song, that marked that band's emergence out of the Psychedelic era -- "Sympathy for the Devil" -- has a Brasilian/Samba-influenced rhythm.
I really liked hearing an earlier take (filmed in the studio by Jean-Luc Godard) with a more sparse arrangement. In that, I believe, Keith Richards plays bass guitar - and it sounds great.
I see in the Wikipedia article, there is definite mention of the rhythm:
Sympathy for the Devil - Wikipedia
Charlie Watts is quoted:
And the Jagger quote that follows is really important, too.

Charlie Watts is quoted:
a jazz Latin feel in the style of Kenny Clarke would have played on "A Night in Tunisia" – not the actual rhythm he played, but the same styling.
And the Jagger quote that follows is really important, too.
