About E Ala E
About the Artist Born in Honolulu in 1959, this son of a Ni'ihau mother returned to Ni'ihau to spend the first five years of his life with his Tutu Kane, his Grandfather. In 1964 he returned to Oahu to join his immediate family then on to Makaha on the Waianae Coast where Israel was to learn the importance of his Hawaiian heritage and discover the richness and mystique in the music and culture of his islands. With an ukulele, his constant companion, Israel would sing and play for anyone who listened. The texture of his voice, the songs and the sound of his resonant ukulele constantly create the feeling that a new, musical Hawaii is emerging. Yet, the basics of his musical inventions remain embedded in the rich, warm, musical soil of his Ni'ihau and Makaha Kapunas. Band-Members: Israel Kamakawiwo'ole-ukulele, lead vocals Mel Amina-bass Mike Muldoon-percussion Gaylord Holomalia-keyboards Del Beazley-guitar Product Description Jamaican + Hawaiian = Jawaiian, the gentle, loping sound of Hawaiian reggae. That's what Iz revels in on this 1995 release: E Ala E; Kaui Beauty; Kamalani ; a string-soaked version of Wind Beneath My Wings ; a nostalgic visit to the Theme from Gilligan's Island, and more!
