ENG βΊ Israel 'IZ' Kamakawiwo'ole (Oahu, 20 May 1959 - Honolulu, 26 June 1997) was an American singer and musician native of Hawaii. It is also known by the pseudonyms Bruddah Iz, or Bradda IZ, or simply IZ.
β He became famous in 1993 with the release of the record 'Facing Future' containing the medley of the songs 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' (which was written in 1939 by Harold Arlen with lyrics by EY Harburg, played by Judy Garland and inserted in the column score for the film 'The Wizard of Oz') and 'What a Wonderful World' (standard brought to success by Louis Armstrong) executed in a version with just the ukulele accompaniment, played by the same Kamakawiwo'ole.
This song was included on the soundtracks of several films.
In the latter part of his life, Israel 'IZ' Kamakawiwo'ole suffered from a severe form of obesity, coming to weigh 340 kg being tall 188 cm., which was even more out the contrast between the size of his body and the tiny ukulele played by him.
He died from respiratory problems on 26 June 1997 at the age of 38 years. The whole day, the Hawaiian flag was at half-mast. His body was exposed to the Capitol Building in Honolulu, where more than 10,000 people paid tribute to him.
β His ashes - as you can see in the video - were scattered in the ocean at Makua Beach.
Iz was nicknamed 'The Good Giant' by his admirers. It is also remembered as being one of the last full-blooded Hawaiians: always smiling and optimistic about him was particularly appreciated the love he felt for his land and his people.

π§ About This Track
This 5 minutes audio journey has been thoughtfully composed to provide an authentic experience featuring rain, ocean sounds that have been carefully recorded and mastered for optimal relaxation. Every element has been balanced to ensure a consistent experience throughout, without jarring transitions or sudden changes that might disrupt your relaxation. The audio quality maintains professional standards, making it suitable for high-quality speakers, headphones, or sleep systems.
These ocean waves have been recorded at the perfect distance to capture both the powerful rush of water meeting shore and the gentle recession of foam on sand. The cyclical nature of waves naturally guides breathing patterns toward deeper, more relaxed rhythms. Each wave is unique yet consistent, creating an endlessly engaging soundscape.
Listening to this audio can provide numerous benefits for both mental and physical well-being. Ocean waves naturally guide the listener into meditative states through their rhythmic patterns. The negative ions associated with ocean environments have been linked to improved mood and mental clarity. Regular listening can help establish healthy sleep patterns and reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety.
Ocean waves produce what scientists call 'coherent' sound patterns - rhythmic, predictable sounds that the brain can easily process. Research from Brighton and Sussex Medical School found that natural water sounds trigger the rest-digest response in the autonomic nervous system. The tempo of ocean waves, typically around 12-15 cycles per minute, naturally aligns with relaxed breathing rates, creating a biofeedback loop that deepens relaxation. This may explain why coastal locations have long been associated with wellness and recuperation.
