    LATIN PERCUSSION. WE ARE RHYTHM.

    For over half a century, LP’s innovative designs and refinements of traditional instruments have inspired musicians around the world.

    Afuche/Cabasa

    There is nothing like the sound and precision of an Afuche/Cabasa. Based on the traditional African and Latin versions of the instrument, LP’s metal Afuche/Cabasa was the first of its kind. It was developed and patented over 40 years ago, and changed the sound of Latin Jazz before finding its way into music all over the world. Today it is one of the most popular hand percussion instruments ever created, and is considered an essential in the hand percussion toolbag. Latin Percussion offers a variety of sizes and styles of metal Afuche/Cabasas as well as a traditional style Cabasa. There are many knock-offs, but only one original. LP, the original.

    lp

    Old World Tradition

    The traditional Cabasa is a shaker originally made from a hollow gourd covered with a beaded net, or strung with small shells. LP’s Afuche/Cabasa is an ingenious hand-held design. It features a loop of steel beads which encircle a textured cylinder to provide a variety of highly articulate sounds used in rhythmic shaker patterns.
