ENG ► Israel 'IZ' Kamakawiwo'ole (Oahu, 20 May 1959 - Honolulu, 26 June 1997) was an American singer and musician native of Hawaii. 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.

■ È divenuto famoso nel 1993 con la pubblicazione dell'album discografico "Facing Future" contenente il medley delle canzoni "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" e "What a Wonderful World", eseguito in una versione con l'accompagnamento all'ukulele, suonato dallo stesso Kamakawiwo'ole.
"IZ" è morto per problemi respiratori il 26 giugno 1997 all'età di 38 anni. Le sue ceneri - come si vede nel video - furono sparse nell'oceano a Makua Beach.
Iz è stato soprannominato "Gigante buono" dai suoi ammiratori. È ricordato anche per essere stato tra gli ultimi purosangue hawaiani: sempre sorridente e ottimista, di lui fu particolarmente apprezzato l'amore che nutriva per la sua terra

My dear husband passed away on July 9, 2023. Right before he passed he said he heard this song and it relaxed him. He said he knew now why I loved the song. He passed away a day and half after telling me this. This was the only song I played at his funeral. 😭 We were together almost 35 years and had 7 Children.

I lost my grandfather to cancer 2 months ago. He was an old hardass to the core but i still cry like a kid when i think about about how mucj i miss him. I still remember, very vividly the dream i had, not a few weeks after he died where i walked into his house, knowing full well hed already died, and i saw him sitting on his bed. I immediately broke into tears, in my dream, and told him how much i love him and how sorry i was that i wasnt a better grandson. He got upset and said, "aw shit, man. This is exactly what i didnt want". But i cant help myself. I miss him terribly and always will. I woke up from that dream, crying.

Thank you Israel, for all these years, my wife who is Pacific Islander, told me today that I live a life in the the spirit of Ohana. And I thought of this song, tears in my eyes. Thank you, my mother sang this song to me when we were on food stamps and starving when we had to hide from terrible people. So much hope, so much love. Thank you IZ. Everyday.
