  • I DO NOT OWN RIGHTS, KFVE and MountainApple has rights I believe. Just spreading the aloha and music of braddah IZ.
    PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL IF YOU LIKE THIS VIDEO.
    Hawaiian music at its best! Pure chicken skin performance by the late Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (IZ) at the 1996 Na Hoku Hanohano Awards.
    Listen to this message straight from the heart of Braddah IZ. On the biggest evening for Hawaiian music, the Makaha Sons decides to join Braddah Iz on stage and ho'oponopono all that had happened in their past. As I watched this broadcasted on KFVE I remember being overwhelmed with emotions. It was basically both sides saying sorry through their actions and voices. On June 26, 1997 Israel Kamakawiwo'ole died.
    Your music lives on Braddah IZ. Hawaiian Music lovers I share this one with you all. Malama pono from www.pipeline2paradise.com -Pu'ukani
    Kaleohano
    by Louis Moon Kauakahi
    Kaleohano, `o Kaleohano kou inoa
    Kaleohano (a name meaning:The Voice (of) Authority and Respect),
    Kaleohano (is) your name
    Ku'u home, ku'u home, ku'u home `o Keaukaha*
    My (in a form expressing affection) home, my home, my home, Keaukaha
    Kaulana `o Keaukaha
    Famous (is) Keaukaha
    (E hana hou i ka paukû mua loa )
    (Repeat first verse)
    Kaleohano, `o Kaleohano kou inoa
    Kaleohano, Kaleohano (is) your name
    Ku'u 'âina, ku'u kulâiwi, a huli i ke kai
    My land, my native land, and dashing and receding (is) the sea
    Kaulana `o Keaukaha.
    Famous (is) Keaukaha.
    Aloha au iâ Mauna Kea, i ke anu o ke ahiahi
    Love I Mauna Kea (meaning, White Mountain, referring to mountain on the island of Hawai`i), in the cold of the evening.
    Ho'olono, ho'olono, ho'olono i ka leo ka makani
    Listen, listen, listen to the voice of the wind
    Keaukaha nô e ka wahi.
    Keaukaha indeed, the place.
    (E hana hou i ka paukû hope)
    (Repeat last verse)

    Leah Elam I think people were crying for various reasons; knowing that he was almost on his death bed might be one, but mending the rift between him and his brothers was probably a big part of it! In addition, there are probably very few people in the audience that could actually understand the Hawaiian language...and some of his comments were in that language (as well as some "pidgin" expressions!). I've always loved and respected Iz and his music, and he died much too soon, at the age of 38 years old!
    I spent 5 years in Hawaii, but he was just a baby when I arrived, but learned to appreciate his talents many years later!
    The Hawaii state flag flew at half-staff on July 10, 1997, the day of Kamakawiwoʻole's funeral. His koa wood coffin lay in state at the state capitol building in Honolulu. He was the third person in Hawaiian history to be awarded this honor, and the only one who was not a government official. Hopefully, that will help you understand why some folks were crying!

    His singing gives a feeling of peace. I just recently heard his music and now I am hooked for good. Such a beautiful man, so sad he left us so early. He will never be forgotten. xxx

    I was lucky enough to have grown up listening to his music back when him, Skippy, Moon, John, and Jerome would play every Sunday at our church in Nanakuli, HI. The Christian music they would put forth will always be a blessing to me and my family and the people who attended the Faith, Hope, & Charity church. We were by his side when he passed on and he will never be forgotten. What he said about "putting Jesus in your heart" is so true. Thank you for continuing to bless us with your music. Aloha

    IZ and Teresa Teng, the two most beautiful voices to ever sing a song...gone forever, never to be replaced but never forgotten. They will be listened to as long as their recordings can be played. You don't have to understand the languages they sing in (Hawaiian (IZ), English (IZ &TT), Chinese (TT), Japanese (TT)...the beauty of their voices will hook you. Check out TT on TH-cam, esp. her Japanese and English songs with her and IZ serenading you'll be in heaven.

He died as peaceful as anyone ever will. He had TRUE peace in his heart. Even as a Christian, I can't do that. But this man is about as close to perfect as a mortal man can be. GOD BLESS YOU IZ!!!

His voice, and his music shall always be missed. He legacy and messege lives on through the Keiki and Kupuna of our Hawaiian lands.

    IZ is joined on stage by his original group who all had split up years before when IZ decided to go it alone. They all forgave each other that day and that is why they all had a cry. A fantastic performance and the entire audience knew the story and were overwelmed with the grandure of the event............God is blessing Isreal right now in Heaven.

    Iz you tell it like it is. It is such a shame that you left us so soon for the Heavenly gates. I wish that more people would listen to your words. The world would be a much better place to live in. We all need to live in peace and respect each other. RIP you ambassador of peace.

    I visited Hawaii many times before and cannot get it off my heart. I have become Hawaiian by heart. I love Hawaiian songs so much. It hurts so much not being there there. I so wish I can be in Hawaii always.I was deeply touched by this song, even though I don't understand the words. GOD BLESS YOU IZ!!! AND GOD BLESS HAWAII!!!

    OMG, I recall being around 12 or so when I watched this on TV while having dinner with my family. As soon as Braddah IZ was introduced and started talking the entire Ohana went quiet and listened intently to his message. This performance was "Chicken Skin", everyone was in tears after seeing IZ and the Makaha Sons having hooponopono and singing on stage together.. He was such an awesome and talented man.

    The first time I heard Iz's music was on my arrival at Honolulu airport-- my first trip to Hawaii. My heart was deeply touched...So beautiful! The words and harmony...Felt the Aloha spirit. Mahalo!! Was so sorry to learn that he had crossed over.

    God's presence on Earth was evident in Israel. i know there's a place where good people go when they leave this life...i hope i'm worthy to go there someday and i hope i meet Brudda Iz.
