Simple in appearance and unpretentious in sound instrument changed the fate of this Hawaiian musician. A small, almost a toy guitar, in the hands of the Israel Kamakawiwoole was truly the voice chant the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands.
Of Israel Kanoi Kamakawiwoole in their native Islands is considered the most talented artist and just an extraordinary man, as his weight reached almost 340 pounds. Although the voice of this man is very gentle and velvety, and in the people it is still called nothing else but "gentle giant".
I am sure that his most popular hit "For the rainbow", like many music lovers, and, however, listen to yourself :-)
Israel began his musical career in a quintet called "The Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau", which he organized with his brother and three friends.
Traveling to different countries with concerts, the musicians released 5 albums, which became famous in the musical environment.
His first record was released in 1990, his performance was highly appreciated by professionals and she even received several special awards. After a few years of Senor Kamakawiwoole already knew outside of his little country.
Melodic medley of many songs and compositions have been shown more than once in various movies and TV series. This soundtrack from the movie: "50 first dates", "Meet Joe black", "finding Forrester", a popular tune from the TV series: "er", "Charmed" or "the Clinic".
Despite the fact that it was difficult for him to just move around, the big IZ never sat still. In his hands a small guitar ukulele seemed just a feather.
In General, this tool appeared on the Islands of the Hawaiian archipelago in the late NINETEENTH century. Created some Portuguese immigrants, predicated on bragino and quaking, ukulele conquered many countries.
The word ukulele translates as"jumping flea". But really when playing this instrument the hand of the musician is constantly moving along the strings.
Listen to another popular song called "Margarita".
And although Israel has lived a short life, fans of his work and today are buying up songs and albums. This man not only studied music, but also defended the rights of Hawaiians, protected the poor and sincerely worried about the homeland.
Such love for his people made him a true national hero and protector. In these compositions he sang about the most secret dreams, about what worried and disturbed him.
In music he found all what him so lacked in life. Kindness and compassion, peace and pleasure, a sense of genuine love and true happiness.
In this composition called "Sea of love" is sung about the sea, the sun, the joy that should be present in the life of every person.
Due to the unsurpassed playing and the use of a variety of styles of performance, Israel is still considered one of the great musicians of Hawaii.
Even if you did not know about this man, I think that at least once heard his exciting voice in a series of ukulele melodies.
