"DK Jamz" is the name of the original "Donkey Kong Country" soundtrack. Composers Robin Beanland, Eveline Fischer, and David Wise collaborated on this album. [Rareware.com: Scribes – December 21, 2005
[Robin Beanland composed "Funky's Fugue"; Eveline Fischer composed "Simian Segue", "Candy's Love Song", "Voices of the Temple", "Forest Frenzy", "Treetop Rock", "Northern Hemispheres", and "Ice Cave Chant"; and David Wise composed the rest of the soundtrack.]
] It was extremely popular, and the quality of the music is considered by many to be some of the best in its genre. The soundtrack has furthermore been entirely rearranged at OverClocked ReMix, with the album name " [http://dkcproject.ocremix.org/ Kong in Concert] ", as a tribute to the original artists. "DK Jamz" consists of 50 tracks, of which tracks 24–48 are completely silent, and the remaining two tracks in the end are 'secret' bonus tracks not listed in the back of the disc cover.

The soundtrack is known for its atmospheric music, mixing natural environmental sounds with prominent melodic and percussive accompaniment. It features a wide variety of different musical styles that attempt to be evocative of the environments they appear in. This varies with the differing areas of the game, and includes music from levels set in Africa-inspired jungles, caverns, oceanic reefs, frozen landscapes, and industrial factories. David Wise has stated that he wanted the music produced by the Super NES' SPC700 chip for the game to sound similar to the Korg Wavestation synthesizer.
