The Handphibians
For a quarter century, The Handphibians has been both a performing group and a community education initiative, training countless players in various forms of Brazilian percussion music. The ensemble also helps local audiences shake off the winter blahs by marking the pre-Lent celebration of Carnaval in Brazil with an annual party featuring music, dance and more. Along with The Handphibians this year's lineup includes capoeira performers, Canta, Violino (aka violinist Andrew Finn), Forró Fo Sho, Ótimo Dance and Samba Novistas.
media release: The Handphibians present a drum and dance-filled celebration of Brazilian music with Madison Carnaval 2023! Artists featured will be Ótimo Dance, Forró Fo Sho, Samba Novistas, capoeira performers, and Carolina-based violin choro samba trio, Canta Violino!
About the Handphibians: The Handphibians are a Brazilian percussion group of community musicians from Madison, Wisconsin. Their music is modeled after the Escolas de Samba in Rio de Janeiro, Blocos Afros of Salvador, and the Maracatu Naçãoes of Recife.
