In the early 1990s, the music scene began to swarm with new trends. A new craze called "drum circles" started to make the news, around the same time that the new Latin sound called "Afro-Cuban" was hitting the pop hits with "Conga" by the Miami Sound Machine. Hand drums started to gain great popularity as more people started to take up the hobby. People wanted to play for health and wellness reasons. At the same time, the Latin sound became more popular and "mainstream".

KMC Music decided to introduce Toca Percussion as an option in hand percussion instruments and accessories. Toca was designed and developed to have a differentiated look and provide the “Afro-Cuban” sound. These instruments have made Toca unique among brands, providing musicians and percussionists with an alternative choice in the search for manual percussion instruments.
