I experienced a similar situation while recording at the Columbia studios in
Madrid in the 1970's.  (Is there something strange about Columbia Studios
worldwide?)  A building next to the studios (& actually sharing walls!) was
being torn down during a session with a Spanish artist.  The worker's rhythm
didn't jive with the Spanish beat of the song being recorded.  

We managed to finish the recording when the workers took a coffee break!
