For more than half a century, LP has been manufacturing classical percussion instruments, patenting countless improvements and designs that meet the high standards of professional musicians. It's no coincidence that Latin percussion instruments can be found on thousands of world-famous hits and recordings, from salsa to rock. The product range extends from congas, bongos, and cowbells to timbales, cajons, shakers, and effect percussion. It's almost impossible to turn on the radio or play a playlist without hearing an LP instrument. The company's story begins in 1956 with Martin Cohen, a young engineer from the Bronx, who discovered his love of Latin American music in New York's jazz clubs. He was so captivated by the sound and energy that he soon decided to buy his own bongos, but was thwarted by trade embargoes that made it impossible to import high-quality bongos from Cuba at the time. Martin Cohen used his technical expertise to build his first bongo set. Shortly thereafter, in 1964, he founded Latin Percussion (LP) and began delivering bongos and cowbells, wrapped in brown paper, to musicians in clubs. This close connection and firsthand experience with artists in the Latin music scene contributed significantly to the brand's success story and remains an integral part of the company philosophy to this day – the musicians' needs come first. Professional and amateur musicians around the globe now value Latin Percussion instruments as the best percussion instruments in the world.. LP1415-KP
