I finally found the name of it! Montuno! Thanks Quentin, There is a song by Dave Weckl called Amanecer, at around the 7 minute mark they play an extremely confusing and complex Montuno, I'd love to hear what it is they are playing by someone trained. I have no idea, I just know I love the sound of the complex syncopations.

WOW that was amazing to listen to!! It sounds like he starts off with improvised fragments of the montuno while the drummer solos. As it comes to the full montuno around 7:30ish it is really impressive. Sounds like he's intentionally throwing us off with the rhythm and the chord progression. It sounds pretty asymmetrical! Would be interesting to see sheet music of what he's playing
