Regular followers of the Cosmo DNA Facebook page are familiar with “Yamatunes for Tuesday,” a weekly drop of amazing online music discoveries.

Back up to Volume 1<\/a><\/p>\n

In this second collection of online Yamatunes, the fans step up and deliver. Many excel in their passion to deliver the themes with perfection while others give the compositions their own unique spin. Several remote combo performances emerged in 2020 that may never have happened but for the Covid pandemic. And then there are the odd birds who fly sideways and still knock it out of the park. If one of them particularly stands out to you, take the time to look into the performer’s Youtube channel where you’ll likely find more of their work.<\/p>\n
