Earthbound Papas

The Earthbound Papas are a Japanese progressive rock/metal band performing songs and interpretations of music from video games, notably including the "Final Fantasy" series. Nobuo Uematsu, the acclaimed composer of music in the "Final Fantasy" series, formed the band after his previous band, The Black Mages, disbanded in 2010. In addition to new arrangements of some Final Fantasy tracks, they have also arranged tracks from other projects that featured Uematsu as a composer and they have produced original compositions for the band's albums. 
In 2010, the Earthbound Papas were featured on the "" live orchestral release, in which they joined the orchestra for a performance of the song Dancing Mad from "Final Fantasy VI".
