It is also known by the pseudonyms Bruddah Iz, or Bradda IZ, or simply IZ. ■ He became famous in 1993 with the release of the record ’Facing Future’ containing the medley of the songs ’Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ (which was written in 1939 by Harold Arlen with lyrics by EY Harburg, played by Judy Garland and inserted in the column score for the film ’The Wizard of Oz’) and ’What a Wonderful World’ (standard brought to success by Louis Armstrong) executed in a version with just the ukulele accompaniment, played by the same Kamakawiwo’ole. This song was included on the soundtracks of several films. In the latter part of his life, Israel ’IZ’ Kamakawiwo’ole suffered from a severe form of obesity, coming to weigh 340 kg being tall 188 cm., which was even more out the contrast between the size of his body and the tiny ukulele played by him. He died from respiratory problems on 26 June 1997 at the age of 38 years. The whole day, the Hawaiian flag was at half-mast. His body was exposed to the Capitol Building in Honolulu, where more than 10,000 people paid tribute to him. ■ His ashes - as you can see in the video - were scattered in the ocean at Makua Beach. Iz was nicknamed ’The Good Giant’ by his admirers. It is also remembered as being one of the last full-blooded Hawaiians: always smiling and optimistic about him was particularly appreciated the love he felt for his land and his people. 🌈 ITA ► Israel “IZ“ Kamakawiwo’ole (Oahu, 20 maggio 1959 - Honolulu, 26 giugno 1997) è stato un cantante e musicista statunitense nativo delle Hawaii.
