Thanks for sharing Kara. Great to see these themes played on the piano. Thanks to the arrangers too. Also, thanks to Eveline ( Ice Cave Chant ) And the writing credit is shared for the title theme as it uses the original Nintendo Donkey Kong Theme. All rights to the compositions: Nintendo

My wife generally doesn't like game music - she thinks it's repetitive and annoying - but she heard Aquatic Ambience in a KZitem compilation video and wanted me to hear "this gorgeous ambient music" and if I could find it to download. I couldn't help laughing when I told here what it was and where it was from (and that I already had it as an mp3). The look on her face was priceless. After that, and hearing some Halo music, she's a bit more open to game music.

Suddenly I was a kid sitting on the floor in front of the TV again, with my grandma in her chair behind me watching me play "the monkey" as she called it. Never knew why she liked watching it so much. She'd hear the familiar music and sound and come sit and watch, only that game, and I don't think she even really understood what a videogame was. DKC was truly something special. For a moment, you brought my baba back. Thank you.
