Description

Israel Kamakawiwoʻole is one of most successful Hawai’ian singers of all time. His ukulele cover of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” sold millions worldwide and appeared in over 50 movies. His huge physical presence made him instantly recognizable. His death at the age of 38 was mourned by all of Hawai’i. The irony of IZ was the success of his version of “Rainbow.” Here was an artist who spent most of his life and career dedicated towards the culture and traditions of Hawai’i, only to become incredibly famous with a cover song. The boys pay tribute to a true legend.
