Izrael Kamakawiwo'ole, also known as Bruddah IZ, is a Hawaiian iconic figure who stunned the world with his rendition of "Somewhere over the Rainbow/ What a Wonderful World." Lucky enough, I was around 10 yrs old and chilling on the beach during the casting of his ashes off the coast of Wai'anae.
His voice is pure and his strum is solid, and is one of the reasons why I started to play the ukulele.
Here's a classic that will never grow old!
