      Я из России и благодаря Брадда Изу стал интересоваться гавайской культурой и народом. Безмерно жаль, что он так рано ушел из жизни. Очень трогательны кадры прощания с ним. Да удостоится он покоя в Раю!

    IZ is an inspiration and was loved by all. I was at Makua when they spread his ashes from the Hokule'a. Cars stopped along the 2 lane road leading to Ka'ena bringing traffic to a stand-still. Hundreds of people were wading in the water and hundreds more were on land. A procession of big rigs blew and held their horns echoing through the valley while his ashes were placed into the ocean making it sound as if the State of Hawaii was crying . . . it's a moment I will never forget!

    IZ was a treasure to the state and the people of Hawaii!! He is greatly missed! By the video at the end u can tell his funeral was a huge event! The emotions u felt r the same the people of Hawaii used to feel when he sang!! This song was used at the end of the Brad Pitt movie MEET JOE BLACK where it gained notoriety because it was so different and original. He was and still is the epitome of the Hawaiian people and its culture of ALOHA!! WE MISS U IZ!!

    Kamaka-viv-oh-ohley. The W in Hawaiian makes a V sound. So it's not actually Hawaii. It's Ha-vai-ee. The song really is a hitter. I can't listen to this track without getting teary eyed myself.

  • @timfeeley714-25
    @timfeeley714-25 Před 2 lety +2

    The ukulele is a Portuguese instrument called a port au braga, and was renamed by Hawaiians. Uku (ooh koo not, you kuh) being "flea" and lele "leaping"due to the motion of the hand while playing.
    In Hawaiian W is V. So it's Kamaka (kah mah kah) vivo (veevo) ole (olay).
    The big double canoe they poured IZ's ashes from is the famous Hokulea, which has sailed all over the world.
