Agogo LP LP231A Standard

The LP LP231A Standard agogo brings the energetic and authentic sound of percussion and Afro-Brazilian tradition.

With two steel bells joined by a U-shaped handle, the LP LP231A agogo is tuned to produce a minor third interval between the bells, creating a vibrant and versatile rhythmic contrast. It's an instrument that begs to be heard and invites the exploration of rich rhythmic patterns, especially in genres where swing is a key element.

The body is constructed of 18-gauge steel, giving it robustness and longevity without compromising sound quality. The ergonomic handle shape offers firm control during playing, ideal for those who demand rhythmic precision and dynamic accents. Anyone who has performed live knows how details count, and the LP231A's firm grip makes all the difference during a longer or more energetic performance.

Latin Percussion developed this model based on the bells used in the Bahia region of Brazil, known for their bright, metallic timbre and powerful projection.

Whether in a percussion group, a samba group, a bloco drum section, or a hybrid kit, the LP231A responds with clarity and character.
