Pair of Maracas LP LP389 in Fiber

The LP LP389 maracas are an essential addition to any percussionist's rhythmic palette.

Designed to add color and character to any rhythm, the LP LP389 fiber maracas are a natural extension of the hands of percussionists who seek presence, definition, and durability. Every Latin Percussion instrument translates decades of experience and innovation into powerful sound, ideal for musicians who value clarity and impact on stage and in the studio.

Each LP389 maraca features a durable plastic head that protects the filling of small metal beads, responsible for the sharp and consistent timbre. This specific filling produces a loud, clear, and penetrating sound, perfect for cutting through dense arrangements and complex rhythms without losing articulation. The ergonomic shape and lightweight wooden handles make this pair extremely comfortable, even during extended performances.

Latin Percussion developed this model with the reliability and sonic response that live musicians demand. The LP LP389 maracas work in all musical contexts—from the heat of a collective jam session to the controlled environment of a studio—and do so with equal effectiveness, thanks to their robust construction and careful sound balancing between the two pieces.

LP was born in the 1960s with the mission of addressing the shortage of Latin percussion instruments in the United States, at a time when political relations with Cuba severely limited access to these instruments. Martin Cohen, the brand’s founder, not only met that need but also raised quality standards.

Since then, Latin Percussion has become an absolute reference among percussionists of all styles, with instruments that have crossed continents and musical genres. The LP389 maracas are part of that legacy and continue to win over musicians who seek consistency and authenticity.

More than just a percussion accessory, this pair of LP LP389 maracas is an expressive instrument that adds texture and identity to your sound. Built to last, ready to shine, these maracas offer the perfect balance of tradition, innovation, and reliability.

Latin Percussion is an American brand, which emerged in the 1960s to fill the lack of Cuban percussion instruments in the United States, due to the commercial embargo imposed by Washington to Cuba.
Latin Percussion instruments started to set the pace in Latin Jazz bands at the time, but were quickly used by musicians in a variety of styles, today being one of the most prestigious percussion instrument brands in the industry, used by some of the most popular musicians in recent decades.
