LP Latin Percussion LPA647B-SW Aspire Conga Set

LP has been manufacturing classical percussion instruments for more than half a century and has patented countless improvements and designs to meet the high demands of professional musicians. It is no coincidence that Latin percussion instruments can be found on thousands of world-famous top hits and recordings from salsa to rock. The product range extends from congas, bongos and cowbells to timbales, cajons, shakers and effect percussion. It is almost impossible to turn on the radio or play a playlist without hearing an LP instrument.

The story of the company begins in 1956 with Martin Cohen, a young engineer from the Bronx, who discovers his love of Latin American music in the jazz clubs of New York. He was so captivated by the sound and energy that he soon decided to buy his own bongos, but failed due to trade embargoes that made it impossible to import high-quality bongos from Cuba at the time. Martin Cohen therefore used his technical know-how and built his first own bongo set. A little later, in 1964, he founded Latin Percussion (LP) and began delivering bongos and cowbells wrapped in brown paper to musicians in the clubs. This close connection and the exchange of first-hand experience with the artists of the Latin music scene contributed significantly to the success story of the brand and are still an integral part of the company philosophy today - the demands of the musicians come first. Today, professional and amateur musicians around the globe value Latin Percussion instruments as the best percussion instruments in the world.
