IZ是夏威夷音乐里赫赫有名的歌唱家,擅长演唱和弹奏夏威夷四弦琴,全名ISRAEL KAMAKAWIWO’OLE,实在长,所以基本上歌迷们都昵称他为IZ。他于1959年出生于火奴鲁鲁(檀香山)一个名为Kaimuki的小镇上,后来移居到Makaha(马卡哈,夏威夷著名的旅游圣地)。IZ深深爱上了这个新家,为了表达他的热爱之情,IZ和他的哥哥Skippy Kamakawiwo'ole 以及其他三位朋友在70年代成立了一支名为The Makaha Sons(马卡哈之子)的乐队。
Israel Kamakawio'ole的歌曲不光用了本土的弹拨乐器, 而且还用当地的方言演唱,“卡卡,库库,碌碌”的发音跳悦性在耳边轻歌曼舞,不的不承认自己仿佛有小资的享受了。为音乐,小资一把也无大碍!上面遮阳的应该是大芭蕉叶,然后自己喝着自己采摘的椰子的椰子汁。音乐即是舞动的,又是懒散的,阳光不是射着来到了你的身边,而是像个徐徐降落的彩色气球般触摸了你的身体..........
