My name is Martin Cohen and I am the founder of Latin Percussion, Inc. that became the largest percussion maker in the world. I found there to be a void in supply of quality Cuban made percussion instruments due to the isolation of Cuba that began in 1959. I made my first bongo in 1962 while employed as an engineer for the military supplier, the Bendix Corp. Two years later, sick of corporoate life I went full time into building drums. In 1996 I began the website, congahead.com to provide behind the scenes news, photos, recordings and videos focused on the wonderful musicians I have come to know world-wide. The company I founded was sold in 2002 to the Kaman Corp.
