The Handphibians

The Handphibians lay out samba-style rhythms in live performances that are guaranteed to get the whole family moving to the beat. Led by Robert Schoville, this Madison-based percussion group is a favorite at festivals and parades.  Handphibian percussion is modeled on Brazilian baterias and based primarily on the Escolas de Samba, the Samba Schools of Brazil.  Come experience the exhilaration of this musical form with the Handphibians!
