Description
This is a bronze sculpture of Isreal Ka'ano'i Kamakawiwo'ole singer, song writer and love of Hawaii. The plaque that is mounted below the bust reads: "In a gentle voice, he spoke through his music to Hawai'i and worlds beyond of love and respect for the values of his Ni'ihau heritage. Strong in his faith, loving husband and father, he envisioned a Sovereign land of promise for the keiki.
Israel's music reflected a deep attachment to the aina and to the people, especially of the Wai'anae Coast, his beloved and final home of rainbows.
Ua mau mai e ka pono mai ka makua lani mai"
The sculpture was done by Jan-Michelle Sawyer and donated to the people of Hawai'i by family and friends of Bruddah Iz.
He was born May20, 1960 and pased away June 28, 1997. Best known for his version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
This is displayed in front of the Wai'anae Community Center on Farrington Highway where everyone passing can see it daily.
