Well, to be exact, it was not Kirby as such who won a prize in the Grammy, but Charlie Rosen and Jake Silverman, members of 8-bit Big Band, an orchestra of 30 to 65 members who specializes in video game songs interpretations, but with a touch of jazz. This group obtained the award for a better arrangement, instrumental or abnormal by its interpretation of “Meta Knight’s Revenge” , Original song of Kirby Super Star of 1996.

Editor’s note:

8-Bit Big Band is a fantastic band that deserves more attention. My favorite interpretation is that of Lonely Rolling Star of Katamari Damacy. I hope this award gives them more fans, so that their productions continue to increase in quality.
