Humberto Luis Schenone, (born September 6, 1955 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) is an percussionist and experimental artist based in Buenos Aires.

In his childhood time Schenone was already having trouble at school because of the pleasure he got from beating over anything making "candombe-batucada", but his first steps in music were in his teens when he started singing and playing guitar in folk and rock groups.

Graduated as psychologist in 1985, he dedicated himself to his professional activities and, for some time, started to study Spanish guitar with jazz and tango guitarist Claudio Gomez. Many years later, in 1990, he assumed his role in music as percussionist. After several periods of traveling and living in Brazil he finaly settled in a house about 30 km's away from Buenos Aires where he built his first "percussion-room" and started his studies of Afro-American rhythms. His teachers in the art of percussion were, among others, Bam Bam Miranda, Abdoulaye Badiane, Ricky Olarte, Pocho Porteño and Hugo Nuñez.

He has been part several bands related with afro-percussion, bossa nova, samba, salsa, rock, South American folk, tango and more. Nowadays, living in Buenos Aires again, he participates as guest musician in several bands and teaches percussion classes.
