Latin percussion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about percussion instruments used in Latin music. For the instrument manufacturer and distributor by this name, also known as LP, see Latin Percussion.

The term Latin percussion refers to any number of a large family of musical percussion instruments used in Latin music, which in turn is a very loosely related group of musical styles, mainly from the Latin American region, and ultimately having roots or influences in African tribal music.
