    Privyet & Aloha, I'm local born & raised in Hawaii. To help you pronounce & understand his namesake, his nickname is pronounced as "IZ" as in the word "Is", but with a local Hawaiian Pidgin accent. And his whole Hawaiian name is "Israel Ka'ano'i Kamakawiwo'ole" Pronounced as "Ka'ano'i - Ka-a-no-e", & "Kamakawiwo'ole - Ka-ma-ka-vi-vo'ole". In translation, his name means: Israel the fearless eye & the bold face.

      Iz is an extraordinary example of how music comes in any package. Such a light touch, and a creative take from the popular version. He has given the world a new "popular version."

    It's only after since Bruddah Iz passed away, that this song has become extremely popular in movies, commercials and around the world.
    It's very common in Hawaii to scatter a person's ashes into the ocean, if it is their last wishes.

    This scene where they were all cheering and out in the water is when they were spreading his ashes in the water in celebration of his life. He's considered one of the best Hawaiian musicians of all time and is highly loved and respected by all Hawaiians. He was also an activist and involved in promoting the rights of Hawaiians, which he included in some of his songs. He was only 38 years old when he died from respiratory failure in 1997.

      @42Mrgreenman Před rokem +10

      Indeed, and a bit of an explanation of Hawaiian activism for those who are unfamiliar. As an American, I can tell you that the US basically stole Hawaii at gunpoint. The last ethnic ruler of The Kingdom of Hawai'i, King Kalakaua, was under pressure from anti-monarchist Hawaiians, but more importantly, American business interests to shift the "Status quo" to be more favorable to America, but the King refused and wouldn't cooperate, he was then basically forced to sign a new Hawaiian constitution at gunpoint, so it was called the "Bayonet Constitution" which effectively deposed the king and put all decisions in the hands of American influenced beurocrats...and that was in 1886...so, much like the American Indians, they are still trying to get back even a fraction of what was taken...Once the corporations and resorts moved into Hawaii it could be even more difficult now, their moneyed interests carry a lot of weight with the government...

I worked right in front street for years and years and now when I think of my view from work, I see cars burned out trying to escape.

Впрочем все песни в исполнении этого певца обладают необычно сильным эмоциональным воздействием.

I love your videos, and my wife teases me when I watch your videos. She tells me "I don't blame you baby, hell, I am straight, and I have a crush on her." Your reactions are so pure, and I see a pain behind your eyes that only a life of hardship can bring. You see the world as it is, and you highlight the good, then you share it with all of us. May God bless you, my family and I gather around the screen, and we watch your reactions like they are our favorite weekly episodes of our favorite show. Please keep making these videos, we need them during these crazy times, and always.

    Brother Iz also has a cover/adaptation version of a John Denver song you already listened to, Take Me Home Country Roads
    Iz's version:
    czcams.com/video/uiCkiyTGM6E/video.html
    In my opinion, Iz's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow (especially when it's the medley version with What a Wonderful World) is the best version. Meaning, yes I like his rendition over even Judy Garland's, but of course I still love hers as well.
    With Take Me Home Country Roads, John Denver's version is still my favorite but there is definitely something to love with Iz's version too!

    My family and I were blessed to live in Hawaii for three years, and unfortunately during our stay Mr. Israel Kamakawiwo’ole, or as he's so affectionately referred by his countrymen, Bruddah IZ, passed away. I'm not Hawaiian so don't presume to refer to this great man so intimately. I've literally been around the world (I'm living at my 34th address) and I've experienced a number of cultures that do not include a "work ethic" so common in America and Europe, but Hawaii was the first place where I experienced this phenomenon and it made sense. What are you working for? There's no need for clothing or shelter, and if you're hungry, just cast a line into the ocean to catch a fish or shimmy up a tree to pick some fruit. It truly is paradise, and Mr. Kamakawiwo’ole expressed it so well in his music. You can tell from the video he purposed to find joy in life, and even though he passed away at the early age of 38, he probably experienced more joy in his short lifetime than most of us will in our entire lifetime, regardless of how long we live. I have a number of the late Mr. Kamakawiwo’ole's songs in my playlist, and every time I hear one of his songs, it bring a big smile to my face. What better legacy could someone have? God rest the soul of Mr. Kamakawiwo’ole.

    Ya this guy died at 26. So sad as if he had lost weight he might have sung many more songs. He's playing a ukelele, the national guitar of Hawaii.

    Money is freedom, and nothing more. Unless you let it corrupt you, then it can be a prison.
