YOSHI’S MUSICAL WORLD
Hi Retro Gamer,
I am a reader of yours, gaming is my hobby. Outside of gaming, I’m a professional musician that specialises in chamber music and performs at venues like Lincoln Center and Carnegie
Hall. Because of COVID-19, as of now all of my concerts have been cancelled from March to August and it is devastating to our community. I decided to work my hardest to stay positive and invest my time and energy into things that I would enjoy and could possibly bring people some joy, which is making funny game arrangement videos. I would love to find some platforms to share my voice of bringing some joy out there, which would make me feel like, as a musician, I’m doing my job as well while I can’t be performing concerts.
I just made one that would fit your category which is Yoshi’s Island Athletic Theme, which is my very favourite retro game music. It was tremendous fun to make, even though it was very hard and so much work. I’ve put the link below, if you think it’s good, and think it would be fitting for you to put it out, I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks for sending this our way, it was a most impressive performance! We particularly liked the fact that you left us to discover the unorthodox use of a bag of cereal as an instrument, which was an unexpected choice from a professional musician – though of course, these are unusual times.
Readers, give this a watch, and if you enjoy Cindy’s performance in this video be sure to take a look at the others on her channel. Nintendo fans will be thrilled to see plenty of Zelda music, including an excellent rendition of the original NES game’s theme music.
