Few know the true and crazy story about how LP began. How a Jewish guy from the Bronx, NY with almost no money, was able to grow the largest percussion company in the world that has been loved by the greatest percussionists in the world. A company that has been in existence for over 50 years. The only musical instrument company to have assembled a world class musical group to grow its market around the world.

This video tells of how Martin decided to start creating recordings in the 70's to teach latin rhythms to the world.

Una empresa que ha estado en existencia por más de 50 años. La única empresa de instrumentos musicales de haber reunido a un grupo de clase musical mundial crezca su mercado en todo el mundo.
