For over half a century, LP has crafted classic percussion instruments and patented hundreds of improvements and new musical instrument designs that meet the exacting standards of professional musicians. Latin Percussion instruments have been featured in thousands of the world’s most famous, chart-topping recordings from classic salsa to classic rock. LP’s product range includes congas, bongos, cowbells, timbales, cajons, shakers and effect percussion instruments. In fact, LP is such an essential part of so many musical genres, it’s almost impossible to turn on a radio or listen to a playlist and not hear an LP instrument.

In 1956, Martin Cohen, a young mechanical engineer from the Bronx, stumbled into New York’s famed Birdland jazz club. He walked in and was instantly enthralled by the sound and energy of Latin Jazz. Martin Cohen was so taken by the infectious music that he wanted his own set of bongos. Unfortunately, due to trade embargos, high-quality Cuban-made bongos were unavailable in the US. So Cohen put his engineering skills to use and built his own set of bongos. In 1964, Martin Cohen founded Latin Percussion (LP), and soon distributed bongos, cowbells, and other instruments in brown paper bags to musicians. Cohen leveraged this close connection to artists from the Latin music scene which contributed greatly to the brand's success story and which is still part of the company's philosophy: The needs of performing musicians are put first. Today, Latin Percussion instruments are considered to be the best percussion instruments in the world.
