Passion. It is the force which drives all human beings to achieve, to strive and to make their dreams come true.The story of Latin Percussion is the passion of one man. A passion which drove him to create, innovate and unmistakably change the face of percussion forever. In 1956 a young mechanical engineer and avid photographer from the Bronx named Martin Cohen happened upon New York's famous Birdland jazz club. He walked in and was greeted by the sounds of Cal Tjader's hot Latin jazz. Cohen was so taken by the infectious music that he became a regular at the Monday night jam sessions, which were headed by flutist Herbie Mann with percussionists like Candido and Jose Mangual, Sr. It was Mangual in particular who was an inspiration to Cohen. Latin Percussion has the finest products available including Congas, Bongos, Shakers, Chimes, Bells, Tamborines, Cow Bells, Timbales, Cajun Drums, Djembe Drums and more
