For over half a century, LP has crafted classic percussion instruments and patented hundreds of improvements and new designs for musical instruments that meet the stringent 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 is 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 upon New York's famous Birdland jazz club. He walked in and was immediately captivated by the sound and energy of Latin Jazz. Martin Cohen was so taken with the infectious music that he wanted his own set of bongos. Unfortunately, due to trade embargoes, high-quality, Cuban-made bongos were unavailable in the US. So Cohen put his engineering skills to use and created 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 capitalized on this close connection to artists in the Latin music scene which greatly contributed to the brand's success story and is still part of the company's philosophy: the needs of performing musicians are put first. Today, Latin percussion instruments are considered the finest percussion instruments in the world.
