Who we are

The Handphibians play the music of Brasilian Carnaval in live performances that are sure to make your mind take a back seat to your dancing feet!

Handphibians percussion is modeled on the Brasilian baterias of the Escolas de Samba in Rio de Janeiro, Blocos Afros of Salvador, & the Maracatu Nações of Recife.

Our music is also naturally influenced by the percussion traditions of Cuba, Africa, and even good ol' Wisconsin.

 

   
  Founded in 1990s, the Handphibians are led by Robert Schoville and are based in Madison, Wisconsin. We play at festivals & school assemblies/events, march in parades, and enliven stage performances with our high energy rhythms.

The Handphibians represent a broad spectrum of the Madison community, enjoining all that would like to participate, regardless of previous musical backgrounds. To learn more about how to become a member, click here.
