In the beautiful city of Kahlua I ventured around from day to night asking others of people they listen to in Hawaii and which influential artist on the island. Iz and Mike Love both occurring mentioned artist. I began obsessed with these two both because both of them. I then began to talk with Gordie over Iz a man people constantly said they missed. He explained to me that the person they were talking about was a local who sung a song of familiarity which is \u201cOver the rainbow. I was surprised to find that out and it made me want to find out more about Iz\"islandlife_b\"<\/a><\/strong>I found His full name was Israel Ka\u2019ano\u2019i Kamakawiwo\u2019ole aka Iz. His last name in Hawaiian translates to \u00a0\u201cthe fearless eye, the bold face.\u201d \u00a0Iz was also a native & a rare breed, with him almost being a pure Hawaiian of unusual lineage. His ancestral roots are still within the island itself some would mention to me as I asked about Iz. He remains the most Hawaiian of all, the so-called \u201cforbidden\u201d island of Ni\u2019ihau was a phrase mentioned in our book. Now these were some basics but Iz was known through many things such as soundtrack of movies that have Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler with 30 dates nights and many other film featuring Sean Connery, Brad Pitt and many more. I enjoyed everything until I read the part of Iz death to know such a great individual was long gone made me feel very sad because I never really knew the identity of the man behind over the rainbow. RIP to Iz and good wishes to those who carry his memory.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
