When its comes to Polyrhythms of African music, Caribbean and some Latin American music that use African derived rhythmic concepts of polyrhythm you can either be talking about having two seperate time signatures occuring at the same time or having multiple layers of rhythmic patterns. These patterns are mainly based on short and long stresses.
Its not quite the same as saying 2 against 3 or 3 against 4 although you do get those types of examples in combination with my above statement in African, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Latin music.
