IZ是夏威夷音樂里赫赫有名的歌唱家,擅長演唱和彈奏夏威夷四弦琴,全名ISRAEL KAMAKAWIWO’OLE,實(shí)在長,所以基本上歌迷們都昵稱他為IZ。他于1959年出生于火奴魯魯(檀香山)一個(gè)名為Kaimuki的小鎮(zhèn)上,后來移居到Makaha(馬卡哈,夏威夷著名的旅游圣地)。IZ深深愛上了這個(gè)新家,為了表達(dá)他的熱愛之情,IZ和他的哥哥Skippy Kamakawiwo'ole 以及其他三位朋友在70年代成立了一支名為The Makaha Sons(馬卡哈之子)的樂隊(duì)。
然而,好景不長,IZ的哥哥Skippy因?yàn)榉逝忠鸬男呐K病于1982年突然去世,這給當(dāng)年才23歲的IZ造成了很大的打擊,樂隊(duì)的活動(dòng)也因此停滯了比較長的時(shí)間。此時(shí),IZ青梅竹馬的情人Marlene(馬琳)不斷地鼓舞和支持IZ,他們于83年成婚并很快生下了女兒Ceslianne。
而在經(jīng)歷了這一切之后,IZ和他的朋友精心打造的兩張專輯PUANA HOU ME KE ALOHA和HO`OLA也終于成為了經(jīng)典,分別于85年和87年獲得了夏威夷最佳傳統(tǒng)音樂大獎(jiǎng),且卡馬哈之子也三年內(nèi)兩次成為年度最佳樂團(tuán)。此外,90年的Makaha Bash 3除了再次讓他們成為最佳樂團(tuán)外,還同時(shí)獲得了Hokus大獎(jiǎng)。
與此同時(shí),IZ開始推出他自己的個(gè)人專輯,89年的KA`ANO`I是他個(gè)人第一張專輯,此后93年的FACING FUTURE的成功讓世界開始注意IZ,而95年的E ALA E和96年的N DIS LIFE則令I(lǐng)Z的名聲傳遍世界。97年的時(shí)候,BILLBOARD雜志的資深樂評(píng)人Doug Reece驚嘆道:“在97年全年52個(gè)星期的世界音樂榜上,其中只有7個(gè)星期沒有出現(xiàn)ISRAEL KAMAKAWIWO’OLE的名字!”
然而,非常遺憾的是,輝煌的97年并沒能讓世界留下IZ,他的肥胖終于讓他在97年6月離開了人世,年僅38歲的他去世時(shí)體重超過750磅,IZ去世后,他所在公司BIG BOY 在98年和2001年分別發(fā)行了IZ 的LIVE——“IZ IN CONCERT”和精選“Alone in Iz World”。
01年發(fā)行的這張《Alone in Iz World》專輯里面除了收錄有IZ的經(jīng)典名曲以外還發(fā)表了3首從未面世的作品"MONA LISA"、“HANOHANO NO NA COWBOY”和“TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTER STAR”,這張唱片的銷售成績(jī)很是證明了人們并沒有遺忘IZ,它發(fā)行沒多久就登上了BILLBOARD世界音樂榜的冠軍寶座,并在TOP TEN內(nèi)徘徊了34個(gè)星期之久!這對(duì)一個(gè)逝世四年的音樂家而言是怎么的一種榮耀??!
繼出版了2張紀(jì)念專輯后,JON DE MELLO和樂隊(duì)鍵盤手JACK再次整理了他逝世后留給我們的作品,出版了這張完美世界。在這張專輯中,有那首著名的WONDERFUL WORLD【他別具匠心地把Somewhere Over The Rainbow和What A Wonderful World這兩支曲子串在一起用當(dāng)?shù)貥菲餮堇[。在純美的音樂后面,正是他深深而脈脈涌動(dòng)的溫情。相信很多人聽到這首歌一定也不陌生,彩虹之上,一定有個(gè)美好的世界。在彩虹之上,有個(gè)遙遠(yuǎn)的地方。你敢擁有夢(mèng)想,為何,為何我不能?】。
Israel Kamakawio'ole的歌曲不光用了本土的彈撥樂器, 而且還用當(dāng)?shù)氐姆窖匝莩翱?,庫庫,碌碌”的發(fā)音跳悅性在耳邊輕歌曼舞,不的不承認(rèn)自己仿佛有小資的享受了。為音樂,小資一把也無大礙!上面遮陽的應(yīng)該是大芭蕉葉,然后自己喝著自己采摘的椰子的椰子汁。音樂即是舞動(dòng)的,又是懶散的,陽光不是射著來到了你的身邊,而是像個(gè)徐徐降落的彩色氣球般觸摸了你的身體..........
The most popular entertainer in Hawaii until his tragic death in 1997, Israel Kamakawiwoole formed the traditional Makaha Sons as a teenager in the mid-70s, went out on his own in more of a contemporary style by the 1990s, and released four immensely popular recordings before passing away just after the release of 1996s N Dis Life. Born in the Honolulu suburb of Kaimuki, Kamakawiwoole later moved to nearby Makaha. In allegiance to his new home, Israel formed the Makaha Sons of Niihau with brother Skippy plus Louis Moon Kauakahi, Sam Gray and Jerome Koko. The Makaha Sons recorded No Kristo in 1976 and released five more albums during as many years, though Skippys death of a heart attack in 1982 came as quite a blow to his younger brother. The group soldiered on, and became Hawaiis most popular traditional group with breakout albums like 1984s Puana Hou Me Ke Aloha and its follow-up, 1986s Hoola.
Israel Kamakawiwoole decided to begin recording on his own with 1990s Ka Anoi, which became the most popular Hawaiian album of the year. Though he continued his solo career, by 1991 he had recorded with the Makaha Sons of Niihau again, and that years Makaha Bash 3 set still more records in Hawaii, thanks in part to the single Broken Promise. Another Makaha LP, Hooluana, appeared in 1992, though it was the last with Israel. His second solo effort, Facing Future, appeared in 1993, and 1995s E Ala E featured a reunited duet with Skippy, thanks to studio technology. Israel continued to win awards and sell very well with 1996s N Dis Life, but his ballooning weight problem (at times, he weighed over 750 pounds) caused his early death at the age of 38.
