Latin Percussion, founded in the 1960s in the United States, has become a world reference in the manufacture of percussion instruments, recognized for its innovation and commitment to sound authenticity. His legacy began with the need to supply Cuban percussion instruments to the US, due to the trade embargo at the time, and quickly won over musicians from various musical styles. Today, LP is one of the most respected brands in the industry, used by some of the world's greatest percussionists.
