About LP
For 60 Years,
We Are Rhythm
Since 1964, Latin Percussion has connected performers, audiences, and communities through rhythm. LP was forged by the vibrant mid-century New York City Latin jazz scene, which inspired founder Martin Cohen on a lifelong journey to develop traditional and innovative instruments from all cultures for percussionists ranging from professionals to elementary age. Over the last 60-plus years, LP has become an iconic musical instrument brand that transcends genre and includes appearances on more recordings and live performances than any other brand.
