IZ: The Man Behind the Music

He was the most beloved Hawaiian musician of his time and came to represent aloha the way Duke Kahanamoku had in the first half of the 20th century. When he died, all of Hawaii wept, and his legend grew. The magic of his sweet voice traveled across the globe, and into the hearts of people everywhere. Millions know the legend of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, but few know the man - the husband, father, son, friend, role model, artist. In this DVD, we will explore that man, and with help from the people who knew him best, we will discover IZ: The Man Behind the Music. 843501006153 Episodes Include: At the Demolition Site at the Garbage Dump at the Race Track to the Rescue!
